monday to friday is 417 00:17:24,309 --> 00:17:21,600 because for me it's important to have a 418 00:17:25,110 --> 00:17:24,319 good fun social life as well so i take 419 00:17:29,669 --> 00:17:25,120

423 00:17:36,230 --> 00:17:35,039 know you have to have that passion for 424 00:17:37,110 --> 00:17:36,240 it as well 425 00:17:39,750 --> 00:17:37,120 um 426 00:17:41,190 --> 00:17:39,760 but for me i like to sort of 427 00:17:43,270 --> 00:17:41,200 do the work 428 00:17:45,029 --> 00:17:43,280 and then stop and just you know kick 429 00:17:47,190 --> 00:17:45,039 back and do whatever i want to do night 430 00:17:49,830 --> 00:17:47,200 and weekends and that way i don't get 431 00:17:52,310 --> 00:17:49,840 burned out you know it's um 432 00:17:54,549 --> 00:17:52,320 i was doing it 24 7 you know 433 00:17:58,070 --> 00:17:54,559 surfing the net at 3am for the latest on 434 00:17:59,590 --> 00:17:58,080 roswell or whatever i would get out so 435 00:18:01,750 --> 00:17:59,600 that you know but everybody's kind of 436 00:18:03,190 --> 00:18:01,760 different you know i have friends who 437 00:18:05,990 --> 00:18:03,200 get inspired 438 00:18:07,990 --> 00:18:06,000 right through the night you know and um 439 00:18:11,909 --> 00:18:08,000 everybody's a bit different i guess 440 00:18:14,470 --> 00:18:11,919 right right um so this book uh what what 441 00:18:16,630 --> 00:18:14,480 was your your thoughts how did you get 442 00:18:19,190 --> 00:18:16,640 the idea of writing this book 443 00:18:21,909 --> 00:18:19,200 in the first in the beginning 444 00:18:23,590 --> 00:18:21,919 well you know whenever you sort of um 445 00:18:25,190 --> 00:18:23,600 looking to do a new book you want to be 446 00:18:27,270 --> 00:18:25,200 able to give the reader 447 00:18:29,830 --> 00:18:27,280 something new you know i always try and 448 00:18:31,110 --> 00:18:29,840 put myself in the place of the reader 449 00:18:33,590 --> 00:18:31,120 you know because i'm not just a writer 450 00:18:35,430 --> 00:18:33,600 of books i read books as well 451 00:18:37,669 --> 00:18:35,440 and you want to be able to read 452 00:18:39,510 --> 00:18:37,679 something that's got new material and 453 00:18:42,070 --> 00:18:39,520 perhaps presented in a 454 00:18:45,110 --> 00:18:42,080 different way and i was speaking to my 455 00:18:46,950 --> 00:18:45,120 agent and publisher lisa hagen um you 456 00:18:47,990 --> 00:18:46,960 know what books we could do for the 457 00:18:49,750 --> 00:18:48,000 future 458 00:18:52,549 --> 00:18:49,760 and we can't we came up this with this 459 00:18:55,750 --> 00:18:52,559 one sort of collectively uh the idea of 460 00:18:58,230 --> 00:18:55,760 doing a ufo story for every day of the 461 00:19:01,669 --> 00:18:58,240 year so like that's why it's called 365 462 00:19:04,549 --> 00:19:01,679 days of ufos um but what i didn't want 463 00:19:07,350 --> 00:19:04,559 to do was sort of just you know 464 00:19:09,909 --> 00:19:07,360 circulate or recirculate the same old 465 00:19:11,830 --> 00:19:09,919 cases now there's some like roswell and 466 00:19:13,270 --> 00:19:11,840 the betty and barney hill case 467 00:19:14,470 --> 00:19:13,280 things like that that you've got to put 468 00:19:16,630 --> 00:19:14,480 in there because they're sort of 469 00:19:19,750 --> 00:19:16,640 definitively 470 00:19:21,590 --> 00:19:19,760 uh famous uh cases and parts of ufology 471 00:19:22,470 --> 00:19:21,600 that you know we can't do without so to 472 00:19:25,110 --> 00:19:22,480 speak 473 00:19:27,750 --> 00:19:25,120 um but what i've done with many of the 474 00:19:29,270 --> 00:19:27,760 cases is just to use a lot of accounts 475 00:19:30,549 --> 00:19:29,280 that have been given to me over the 476 00:19:32,230 --> 00:19:30,559 years which 477 00:19:33,750 --> 00:19:32,240 really didn't sort of 478 00:19:35,669 --> 00:19:33,760 fit in any of the books that i was 479 00:19:38,470 --> 00:19:35,679 writing about at those times and so they 480 00:19:41,029 --> 00:19:38,480 just went into kind of like a limbo um 481 00:19:43,270 --> 00:19:41,039 but when the thread is not the cases or 482 00:19:44,310 --> 00:19:43,280 the subject but actually the the day of 483 00:19:46,390 --> 00:19:44,320 the year 484 00:19:48,549 --> 00:19:46,400 then you know they sort of smoothly kind 485 00:19:50,870 --> 00:19:48,559 of fit into the into the book so that 486 00:19:54,470 --> 00:19:50,880 was that was basically the idea was to 487 00:19:56,230 --> 00:19:54,480 sort of present 365 cases a lot of never 488 00:19:58,710 --> 00:19:56,240 before seen ones 489 00:19:59,669 --> 00:19:58,720 and just demonstrate to people so the 490 00:20:02,230 --> 00:19:59,679 sheer 491 00:20:04,470 --> 00:20:02,240 number of reports and also the fact that 492 00:20:06,950 --> 00:20:04,480 you know these are worldwide reports 493 00:20:10,230 --> 00:20:06,960 again sort of showing the global scale 494 00:20:11,990 --> 00:20:10,240 of the reports too uh-huh and uh 495 00:20:13,590 --> 00:20:12,000 i think it's pretty interesting because 496 00:20:16,870 --> 00:20:13,600 uh you start out 497 00:20:18,870 --> 00:20:16,880 um january 1st and then it goes in to 498 00:20:20,789 --> 00:20:18,880 different years and things like that and 499 00:20:21,909 --> 00:20:20,799 of course i had to look at my birthday 500 00:20:23,590 --> 00:20:21,919 and um 501 00:20:26,230 --> 00:20:23,600 geez i wonder if i could tell you my 502 00:20:29,789 --> 00:20:26,240 story and you'd know what my birthday is 503 00:20:34,310 --> 00:20:29,799 no um it was a sighting in oregon um in 504 00:20:35,830 --> 00:20:34,320 1947 on uh july 7th so i imagine that's 505 00:20:36,549 --> 00:20:35,840 what a lot of people do 506 00:20:39,110 --> 00:20:36,559 see 507 00:20:41,909 --> 00:20:39,120 uh what you picked for their birthday um 508 00:20:43,669 --> 00:20:41,919 and one thing i like about your book is 509 00:20:47,190 --> 00:20:43,679 um it's a 510 00:20:50,950 --> 00:20:47,200 it's an easy read and um 511 00:20:53,029 --> 00:20:50,960 and if someone like me uh who has add a 512 00:20:55,669 --> 00:20:53,039 little bit um it's easy to read they're 513 00:20:57,909 --> 00:20:55,679 short stories i love short stories 514 00:20:59,590 --> 00:20:57,919 so well you know i'm glad you said that 515 00:21:02,870 --> 00:20:59,600 because you know the book is sort of 516 00:21:05,029 --> 00:21:02,880 it's in excess of 400 pages and even for 517 00:21:06,390 --> 00:21:05,039 me you know if i get a review book or a 518 00:21:08,149 --> 00:21:06,400 new book to read 519 00:21:09,430 --> 00:21:08,159 and it's like four or five hundred pages 520 00:21:10,390 --> 00:21:09,440 i'm like gee 521 00:21:11,350 --> 00:21:10,400 you know 522 00:21:13,110 --> 00:21:11,360 um 523 00:21:15,990 --> 00:21:13,120 and particularly so when you've got to 524 00:21:18,149 --> 00:21:16,000 read it from page one to page 500 or 525 00:21:21,190 --> 00:21:18,159 whatever but yeah the good thing about 526 00:21:23,590 --> 00:21:21,200 this book is that each case is roughly 527 00:21:25,990 --> 00:21:23,600 one page you know and i've kept it 528 00:21:28,149 --> 00:21:26,000 um detailed you know i'm sort of uh just 529 00:21:30,549 --> 00:21:28,159 skimmed over it but each one is sort of 530 00:21:32,630 --> 00:21:30,559 like a page or there abouts 531 00:21:34,710 --> 00:21:32,640 on on each case so in other words you 532 00:21:37,350 --> 00:21:34,720 can just dip into it you don't have to 533 00:21:39,750 --> 00:21:37,360 start at january the first 534 00:21:42,230 --> 00:21:39,760 and finish of you know december the 31st 535 00:21:44,710 --> 00:21:42,240 you can just dip in as and when you like 536 00:21:46,630 --> 00:21:44,720 and just you know find 537 00:21:49,029 --> 00:21:46,640 a story which hopefully people find 538 00:21:50,789 --> 00:21:49,039 interesting and um and i think you know 539 00:21:53,350 --> 00:21:50,799 when you're dealing with bigger and 540 00:21:55,190 --> 00:21:53,360 bigger books that really is the way to 541 00:21:56,470 --> 00:21:55,200 go because sometimes you know you can 542 00:21:58,310 --> 00:21:56,480 get 543 00:22:00,630 --> 00:21:58,320 information overload when you've got to 544 00:22:02,630 --> 00:22:00,640 take in everything from the first place 545 00:22:04,549 --> 00:22:02,640 page to the last page you know it can be 546 00:22:06,630 --> 00:22:04,559 uh 547 00:22:08,630 --> 00:22:06,640 even for me you know it can be a pain in 548 00:22:10,549 --> 00:22:08,640 the neck 549 00:22:12,390 --> 00:22:10,559 um someone wants to know if you if this 550 00:22:14,950 --> 00:22:12,400 will eventually be turning into an audio 551 00:22:17,590 --> 00:22:16,149 um 552 00:22:20,070 --> 00:22:17,600 that's a good question i'm not entirely 553 00:22:22,070 --> 00:22:20,080 sure but the previous book that the the 554 00:22:23,990 --> 00:22:22,080 company has put this out lisa hagen 555 00:22:26,710 --> 00:22:24,000 books the previous company 556 00:22:29,190 --> 00:22:26,720 did an audio book of the early one they 557 00:22:31,029 --> 00:22:29,200 did which was uh women in black kind of 558 00:22:33,669 --> 00:22:31,039 like the men in black mystery that one 559 00:22:37,190 --> 00:22:33,679 came out last year and that's just um 560 00:22:38,710 --> 00:22:37,200 come out in an audio and the um the men 561 00:22:41,669 --> 00:22:38,720 in black one that i did for them the 562 00:22:43,990 --> 00:22:41,679 previous year has also come out in audio 563 00:22:46,070 --> 00:22:44,000 so hopefully this one will as well but 564 00:22:47,830 --> 00:22:46,080 because it's just come out in paperback 565 00:22:49,590 --> 00:22:47,840 i think it might actually be a couple of 566 00:22:52,149 --> 00:22:49,600 months before the uh 567 00:22:54,230 --> 00:22:52,159 the audio or the audible um version 568 00:22:56,470 --> 00:22:54,240 comes out online yeah audible yeah 569 00:22:57,350 --> 00:22:56,480 that's a good site 570 00:23:03,510 --> 00:22:57,360 i 571 00:23:05,750 --> 00:23:03,520 show to talk about that so 572 00:23:08,310 --> 00:23:05,760 now that you're here i'd like to chat a 573 00:23:10,630 --> 00:23:08,320 little bit about that because um when i 574 00:23:12,789 --> 00:23:10,640 was reading this new book i saw that um 575 00:23:15,270 --> 00:23:12,799 some of the women in black 576 00:23:18,070 --> 00:23:15,280 uh cases uh went all the way back to the 577 00:23:20,390 --> 00:23:18,080 19th century but i i understand a lot of 578 00:23:23,110 --> 00:23:20,400 women any woman in mourning back then 579 00:23:26,710 --> 00:23:23,120 you know was wearing all black but uh 580 00:23:30,070 --> 00:23:26,720 how far back uh was that in late 19 i 581 00:23:32,070 --> 00:23:30,080 mean uh late 1800s right 582 00:23:34,070 --> 00:23:32,080 yeah i mean the the women in black 583 00:23:36,230 --> 00:23:34,080 phenomenon is sort of far less well 584 00:23:38,070 --> 00:23:36,240 known than the men in black mystery but 585 00:23:39,909 --> 00:23:38,080 there's you know there's no shortage of 586 00:23:41,830 --> 00:23:39,919 stories which is why 587 00:23:44,470 --> 00:23:41,840 you know i uh i wrote a book about it 588 00:23:45,990 --> 00:23:44,480 and then also had cases that i could um 589 00:23:47,510 --> 00:23:46,000 use in the new book as well that 590 00:23:49,750 --> 00:23:47,520 actually came in 591 00:23:51,269 --> 00:23:49,760 after the women in black book came out 592 00:23:53,510 --> 00:23:51,279 and you know there was still time to put 593 00:23:56,470 --> 00:23:53,520 them in in the new book but yeah you're 594 00:23:59,510 --> 00:23:56,480 right um the stories actually go back to 595 00:24:02,070 --> 00:23:59,520 sort of the uh 1800s and um 596 00:24:04,230 --> 00:24:02,080 the stories are sort of like eerily 597 00:24:05,990 --> 00:24:04,240 similar where the witnesses describe 598 00:24:07,990 --> 00:24:06,000 these sort of strange 599 00:24:10,549 --> 00:24:08,000 women in black as sort of well obviously 600 00:24:13,750 --> 00:24:10,559 dressed in black looking very pale 601 00:24:16,710 --> 00:24:13,760 and sort of emotionless and they often 602 00:24:18,870 --> 00:24:16,720 turned up in situations of a paranormal 603 00:24:20,070 --> 00:24:18,880 kind um 604 00:24:23,029 --> 00:24:20,080 for example 605 00:24:25,830 --> 00:24:23,039 um in wales in 1909 just at the start of 606 00:24:29,269 --> 00:24:25,840 the 20th century there's a wave of ufo 607 00:24:31,029 --> 00:24:29,279 activity in uh in north wales and south 608 00:24:33,750 --> 00:24:31,039 wales in a number of villages now the 609 00:24:35,350 --> 00:24:33,760 terms ufo and flying saucer weren't 610 00:24:37,909 --> 00:24:35,360 created back then 611 00:24:39,430 --> 00:24:37,919 but people reported seeing these strange 612 00:24:40,549 --> 00:24:39,440 balls of light flitting through the 613 00:24:42,950 --> 00:24:40,559 villages 614 00:24:44,630 --> 00:24:42,960 and on several occasions 615 00:24:46,470 --> 00:24:44,640 these women in black would turn up on 616 00:24:48,149 --> 00:24:46,480 the doorsteps of people in the little 617 00:24:49,830 --> 00:24:48,159 villages and ask them if they'd seen 618 00:24:52,230 --> 00:24:49,840 anything unusual 619 00:24:54,149 --> 00:24:52,240 um which kind of sounds you know just 620 00:24:55,029 --> 00:24:54,159 like the sort of things that the men in 621 00:24:56,630 --> 00:24:55,039 black 622 00:24:58,390

--> 00:25:02,880 you know the it's the phenomenon's sort 626 00:25:08,390 --> 00:25:06,240 of gone very much under the radar but 627 00:25:10,710 --> 00:25:08,400 you can draw sort of real parallels 628 00:25:12,830 --> 00:25:10,720 between what was going on back then and 629 00:25:13,990 --> 00:25:12,840 what's going on today 630 00:25:16,470 --> 00:25:14,000 mm-hmm um 631 00:25:19,669 -->

you only see a couple of 652 00:26:01,590 --> 00:26:00,240 times a year at conferences that's right 653 00:26:02,630 --> 00:26:01,600 it was great to meet you when i was out 654 00:26:03,750 -->

00:26:18,870 --> 00:26:16,960 um and i know you wrote on the uh 662 00:26:21,350 --> 00:26:18,880 stephenville case 663 00:26:23,269 --> 00:26:21,360 and uh yeah there was quite a spin on 664 00:26:26,390 --> 00:26:23,279 that if i remember right it wasn't well 665 00:26:28,950 --> 00:26:26,400 it wasn't uh at all or wasn't wholly 666 00:26:31,909 --> 00:26:28,960 what i remember um how deeply have you 667 00:26:33,590 --> 00:26:31,919 looked into that particular case 668 00:26:36,230 --> 00:26:33,600 oh well actually quite deep i mean the 669 00:26:38,310 --> 00:26:36,240 stephenville event was like a really 670 00:26:40,390 --> 00:26:38,320 important one regards to which way you 671 00:26:42,470 --> 00:26:40,400 look at it for example in terms of the 672 00:26:44,630 --> 00:26:42,480 media you know they gave it massive 673 00:26:46,710 --> 00:26:44,640 coverage it was one that sort of really 674 00:26:49,669 --> 00:26:46,720 caught the attention of the of the uh 675 00:26:51,990 --> 00:26:49,679 country's uh regular mainstream media 676 00:26:53,350 --> 00:26:52,000 never mind you know alternative media or 677 00:26:57,029 --> 00:26:53,360 ufology 678 00:26:59,350 --> 00:26:57,039 um people like associated press cnn i 679 00:27:01,909 --> 00:26:59,360 mean and they all reported on this 680 00:27:04,149 --> 00:27:01,919 particular case and one of the reasons 681 00:27:05,909 --> 00:27:04,159 was that you know stephenville 682 00:27:07,669 --> 00:27:05,919 um which actually isn't that far from 683 00:27:09,430 --> 00:27:07,679 where i live it's only been a 45 minute 684 00:27:13,269 --> 00:27:09,440 drive or something like that 685 00:27:16,390 --> 00:27:13,279 um but it really sort of put the town 686 00:27:19,510 --> 00:27:16,400 on the map and for a number of reasons 687 00:27:22,870 --> 00:27:19,520 one being that numerous people saw 688 00:27:25,110 --> 00:27:22,880 this first particular ufo and what was 689 00:27:27,750 --> 00:27:25,120 particularly interesting about it was it 690 00:27:30,630 --> 00:27:27,760 was gigantic you know it was just 691 00:27:32,870 --> 00:27:30,640 like this huge you know slab flying 692 00:27:34,549 --> 00:27:32,880 through the sky yeah some people said 693 00:27:36,230 --> 00:27:34,559 like a mile they thought it could be a 694 00:27:39,110 --> 00:27:36,240 mile right yeah 695 00:27:42,230 --> 00:27:39,120 yeah it was reportedly massive now what 696 00:27:44,789 --> 00:27:42,240 happened was that a number of the uh 697 00:27:47,990 --> 00:27:44,799 witnesses said they saw military planes 698 00:27:50,630 --> 00:27:48,000 pursuing the uh ufo like fighter 699 00:27:53,430 --> 00:27:50,640 aircraft now this was actually denied 700 00:27:54,549 --> 00:27:53,440 officially but then shortly afterwards 701 00:27:57,350 --> 00:27:54,559 um 702 00:28:00,070 --> 00:27:57,360 the joint reserve base naval air station 703 00:28:01,590 --> 00:28:00,080 in fort worth um admitted that they 704 00:28:03,830 --> 00:28:01,600 actually did have 705 00:28:05,669 --> 00:28:03,840 um planes up on that night but they're 706 00:28:08,230 --> 00:28:05,679 actually just taking part 707 00:28:10,389 --> 00:28:08,240 um in an exercise 708 00:28:12,310 --> 00:28:10,399 um and that really caught the attention 709 00:28:13,190 --> 00:28:12,320 of the military excuse me of the media 710 00:28:14,710 --> 00:28:13,200 as well 711 00:28:16,950 --> 00:28:14,720 when they were like well hang on you 712 00:28:18,549 --> 00:28:16,960 know now there were aircraft up in the 713 00:28:21,029 --> 00:28:18,559 sky what's going on 714 00:28:22,149 --> 00:28:21,039 so it was for reasons like that 715 00:28:24,389 --> 00:28:22,159 that people 716 00:28:27,830 --> 00:28:24,399 got interested and then rumors started 717 00:28:30,470 --> 00:28:27,840 circulating that um like a scientific 718 00:28:33,269 --> 00:28:30,480 office within the united nations had 719 00:28:34,149 --> 00:28:33,279 been secretly briefed on the incident 720 00:28:38,230 --> 00:28:34,159 and 721 00:28:40,310 --> 00:28:38,240 determining the 722 00:28:42,710 --> 00:28:40,320 the reaction of the general public you 723 00:28:44,310 --> 00:28:42,720 know how they reacted to it and what 724 00:28:46,710 --> 00:28:44,320 their thoughts were as if they were 725 00:28:48,870 --> 00:28:46,720 looking from like a psychological 726 00:28:50,549 --> 00:28:48,880 perspective of you know one of the 727 00:28:52,389 --> 00:28:50,559 theories was that if they government 728 00:28:53,590 --> 00:28:52,399 ever needed to come clean on the ufo 729 00:28:54,470 --> 00:28:53,600 subject 730 00:28:56,149 --> 00:28:54,480 the 731 00:28:58,789 --> 00:28:56,159 stephenville case might be sort of a 732 00:29:01,350 --> 00:28:58,799 good litmus test if you like to 733 00:29:03,510 --> 00:29:01,360 understanding how the public might react 734 00:29:05,990 --> 00:29:03,520 in the 21st century to 735 00:29:08,950 --> 00:29:06,000 you know the presence of a massive fleet 736 00:29:10,710 --> 00:29:08,960 of ufos or whatever 737 00:29:12,950 --> 00:29:10,720 um there's a question up on i've got a 738 00:29:13,909 --> 00:29:12,960 couple message boards going uh one on 739 00:29:17,190 --> 00:29:13,919 youtube 740 00:29:19,669 --> 00:29:17,200 and one on my regular uh home page and 741 00:29:22,389 --> 00:29:19,679 this question is after your rh negative 742 00:29:23,990 --> 00:29:22,399 book was published did you get contacted 743 00:29:27,590 --> 00:29:24,000 by readers who claim that they were 744 00:29:30,149 --> 00:29:27,600 abductees who are are h-negative 745 00:29:31,269 --> 00:29:30,159 or are there any stories i got literally 746 00:29:36,470 --> 00:29:31,279 um 747 00:29:39,269 --> 00:29:36,480 really wow enough most of the reports 748 00:29:41,830 --> 00:29:39,279 actually came through to my uh through 749 00:29:43,110 --> 00:29:41,840 through facebook message um 750 00:29:45,269 --> 00:29:43,120 and 751 00:29:47,669 --> 00:29:45,279 of of the people who came forward i 752 00:29:49,830 --> 00:29:47,679 would say i said low hundreds were the 753 00:29:50,710 --> 00:29:49,840 number of people who contacted me 754 00:29:52,789 --> 00:29:50,720 and 755 00:29:55,510 --> 00:29:52,799 the vast majority of those were people 756 00:29:57,590 --> 00:29:55,520 who were rh negative and had 757 00:30:01,269 --> 00:29:57,600 sort of profound ufo encounters like 758 00:30:03,990 --> 00:30:01,279 abductions or contact cases or 759 00:30:06,230 --> 00:30:04,000 like landings and things like that but 760 00:30:09,269 --> 00:30:06,240 the other smaller percentage who was 761 00:30:10,710 --> 00:30:09,279 still rh negative uh a number of them 762 00:30:13,590 --> 00:30:10,720 said that they hadn't had ufo 763 00:30:16,149 --> 00:30:13,600 experiences but from childhood they'd 764 00:30:18,470 --> 00:30:16,159 felt sort of eerily drawn towards the 765 00:30:19,669 --> 00:30:18,480 subject for reasons they couldn't fully 766 00:30:24,950 --> 00:30:19,679 understand 767 00:30:27,269 --> 00:30:24,960 you know that to me was interesting 768 00:30:29,669 --> 00:30:27,279 because for a couple of reasons 769 00:30:30,870 --> 00:30:29,679 the people were rh negative and 770 00:30:35,350 --> 00:30:30,880 certainly 771 00:30:36,789 --> 00:30:35,360 200 responses within probably 772 00:30:38,630 --> 00:30:36,799 two or three weeks of the book coming 773 00:30:40,870 --> 00:30:38,640 out was something that i'd never 774 00:30:43,669 --> 00:30:40,880 experienced before i mean 775 00:30:46,070 --> 00:30:43,679 you know i get feedback from readers 776 00:30:48,149 --> 00:30:46,080 obviously but you know not sort of two 777 00:30:50,950 --> 00:30:48,159 or three hundred you know in two or 778 00:30:53,110 --> 00:30:50,960 three weeks i get sort of maybe i mean 779 00:30:56,710 --> 00:30:53,120 like with my women in black book i think 780 00:30:58,789 --> 00:30:56,720 since that's come out i've got probably 781 00:31:00,149 --> 00:30:58,799 20 25 782 00:31:06,070 --> 00:31:00,159 new cases 783 00:31:07,909 --> 00:31:06,080 the last um sort of 784 00:31:10,470 --> 00:31:07,919 six or seven months since the book came 785 00:31:11,430 --> 00:31:10,480 out or a little bit more i think it was 786 00:31:13,750 --> 00:31:11,440 um 787 00:31:16,389 --> 00:31:13,760 so you know that that was really you 788 00:31:18,149 --> 00:31:16,399 know a massive difference in terms with 789 00:31:19,269 --> 00:31:18,159 the bloodline of the gods book that the 790 00:31:21,990 --> 00:31:19,279 uh 791 00:31:25,110 --> 00:31:22,000 the person was talking about um 792 00:31:27,110 --> 00:31:25,120 in the in the uh chat room so um 793 00:31:29,350 --> 00:31:27,120 yeah that that was sort of um 794 00:31:31,110 --> 00:31:29,360 you know a bit of a 795 00:31:32,870 --> 00:31:31,120 you know for me it was an eye-opening 796 00:31:35,669 --> 00:31:32,880 thing you know the fact that um all 797 00:31:37,669 --> 00:31:35,679 these people were coming forward but uh 798 00:31:39,029 --> 00:31:37,679 you know i find it interesting that it 799 00:31:41,669 --> 00:31:39,039 sort of um 800 00:31:43,909 --> 00:31:41,679 really did sort of open the floodgates 801 00:31:46,149 --> 00:31:43,919 to all these rh negative people to come 802 00:31:48,070 --> 00:31:46,159 forward and you know talk about their 803 00:31:50,149 --> 00:31:48,080 encounters and what was particularly 804 00:31:52,710 --> 00:31:50,159 interesting you know when i talked about 805 00:31:56,070 --> 00:31:52,720 people having abduction encounters and 806 00:31:58,950 --> 00:31:56,080 contacts and landings there was barely a 807 00:32:00,789 --> 00:31:58,960 single case of like um oh i just saw a 808 00:32:02,789 --> 00:32:00,799 light in the sky you know that they were 809 00:32:06,149 --> 00:32:02,799 all sort of really 810 00:32:08,950 --> 00:32:06,159 intriguing ufo cases 811 00:32:10,789 --> 00:32:08,960 wow now when you you're telling you just 812 00:32:11,990 --> 00:32:10,799 said that these people came forward with 813 00:32:22,630 --> 00:32:12,000 the 814 00:32:24,870 --> 00:32:22,640 and wondering if you 815 00:32:26,950 --> 00:32:24,880 had uh new cases can you talk about a 816 00:32:31,269 --> 00:32:26,960 couple of them that uh 817 00:32:34,149 --> 00:32:31,279 that uh when people contacted you 818 00:32:35,909 --> 00:32:34,159 oh yeah um well i mean one good example 819 00:32:38,070 --> 00:32:35,919 is a guy um 820 00:32:40,830 --> 00:32:38,080 who actually had an encounter uh with a 821 00:32:44,630 --> 00:32:40,840 woman in black in the 1970s in a 822 00:32:48,549 --> 00:32:44,640 bookstore and this was in ohio and 823 00:32:50,710 --> 00:32:48,559 weirdly i've got quite a few reports of 824 00:32:52,630 --> 00:32:50,720 men and black and women in black turning 825 00:32:53,990 --> 00:32:52,640 up in sort of old books 826 00:32:56,789 --> 00:32:54,000 bookstores 827 00:32:58,789 --> 00:32:56,799 and old libraries um there's some really 828 00:33:00,710 --> 00:32:58,799 creepy stories where 829 00:33:02,630 --> 00:33:00,720 the the people for example were sitting 830 00:33:04,310 --> 00:33:02,640 in the library and 831 00:33:06,149 --> 00:33:04,320 this woman in black or manning black 832 00:33:08,789 --> 00:33:06,159 appeared and suddenly the entire library 833 00:33:10,230 --> 00:33:08,799 went quiet as if like in a vacuum and 834 00:33:12,549 --> 00:33:10,240 the people looked around and they 835 00:33:15,430 --> 00:33:12,559 couldn't see anybody else in the library 836 00:33:16,470 --> 00:33:15,440 it was almost like reality had briefly 837 00:33:19,350 --> 00:33:16,480 shifted 838 00:33:21,430 --> 00:33:19,360 and um so i've got a couple of new cases 839 00:33:23,750 --> 00:33:21,440 along those lines and 840 00:33:24,549 --> 00:33:23,760 this whole angle of many black women in 841 00:33:27,430 --> 00:33:24,559 black 842 00:33:29,430 --> 00:33:27,440 libraries and bookstores is sort of um 843 00:33:31,269 --> 00:33:29,440 one that really hasn't been 844 00:33:33,190 --> 00:33:31,279 sort of looked at too deeply because i 845 00:33:35,430 --> 00:33:33,200 think people have just not realized it 846 00:33:36,470 --> 00:33:35,440 is you know part of the phenomenon but 847 00:33:38,710 --> 00:33:36,480 um 848 00:33:40,549 --> 00:33:38,720 why that should be the case i don't know 849 00:33:42,870 --> 00:33:40,559 but they seem to be 850 00:33:44,870 --> 00:33:42,880 attracted to not just books but to our 851 00:33:47,509 --> 00:33:44,880 old books for some there's a whole 852 00:33:50,230 --> 00:33:47,519 reason um but i've got a couple of cases 853 00:33:52,149 --> 00:33:50,240 like that in the book of um 854 00:33:54,389 --> 00:33:52,159 the the women in black men in black 855 00:33:56,470 --> 00:33:54,399 turning up under those circumstances and 856 00:33:59,509 --> 00:33:56,480 more importantly you know in relation to 857 00:34:03,190 --> 00:33:59,519 the the question yeah i've got um 858 00:34:05,430 --> 00:34:03,200 several um new reports of women in black 859 00:34:07,269 --> 00:34:05,440 in association with them library 860 00:34:08,950 --> 00:34:07,279 sightings which um 861 00:34:10,629 --> 00:34:08,960 you know i'm still sort of scratching my 862 00:34:12,950 --> 00:34:10,639 head trying to figure out 863 00:34:15,349 --> 00:34:12,960 why there should be that connection but 864 00:34:16,710 --> 00:34:15,359 regardless of the why you know there is 865 00:34:19,030 --> 00:34:16,720 that connection 866 00:34:20,869 --> 00:34:19,040 right um that that 867 00:34:24,389 --> 00:34:20,879 so this happens when you write a book 868 00:34:27,669 --> 00:34:24,399 you you get contacted um by people that 869 00:34:30,069 --> 00:34:27,679 have news stories like related to that 870 00:34:33,829 --> 00:34:30,079 um it almost i bet that happens to a lot 871 00:34:35,829 --> 00:34:33,839 of authors that uh right along this line 872 00:34:38,310 --> 00:34:35,839 yeah i'm sure it happens to pretty much 873 00:34:40,550 --> 00:34:38,320 every author in ufology and related 874 00:34:42,149 --> 00:34:40,560 paranormal phenomena you know i mean i 875 00:34:43,349 --> 00:34:42,159 rarely if ever 876 00:34:45,829 --> 00:34:43,359 have gotten 877 00:34:46,950 --> 00:34:45,839 like a report of a haunted house i get 878 00:34:51,270 --> 00:34:46,960 very 879 00:34:53,589 --> 00:34:51,280 reports but i'm sure authors who write 880 00:34:55,829 --> 00:34:53,599 books on haunted houses and those who 881 00:34:57,670 --> 00:34:55,839 write books about crop circles get 882 00:34:59,990 --> 00:34:57,680 you know feedback in the same way i do 883 00:35:00,950 --> 00:35:00,000 so i think i think what often happens is 884 00:35:03,670 --> 00:35:00,960 that 885 00:35:05,829 --> 00:35:03,680 readers 886 00:35:08,069 --> 00:35:05,839 they read a book and maybe they've got 887 00:35:09,510 --> 00:35:08,079 an experience that's very similar you 888 00:35:11,190 --> 00:35:09,520 know obviously they feel prompted to 889 00:35:13,430 --> 00:35:11,200 contact the author 890 00:35:15,109 --> 00:35:13,440 to share the information or hopefully 891 00:35:17,990 --> 00:35:15,119 you know to get some answers as to what 892 00:35:19,910 --> 00:35:18,000 they saw but i think you know they 893 00:35:21,430 --> 00:35:19,920 and it's understandable again that they 894 00:35:23,109 --> 00:35:21,440 would pick out the author who's written 895 00:35:26,150 --> 00:35:23,119 about the subject 896 00:35:27,270 --> 00:35:26,160 that they were exposed to you know so 897 00:35:29,910 --> 00:35:27,280 that's why 898 00:35:31,829 --> 00:35:29,920 i don't get reports like a set of ghosts 899 00:35:33,349 --> 00:35:31,839 and hauntings because i don't really not 900 00:35:35,829 --> 00:35:33,359 really interested in that so don't write 901 00:35:37,750 --> 00:35:35,839 about it you know i write about 902 00:35:40,790 --> 00:35:37,760 women in black and things like that so 903 00:35:43,109 --> 00:35:40,800 people reply so uh you know it's nothing 904 00:35:46,390 --> 00:35:43,119 mysterious it's just down to sort of 905 00:35:49,349 --> 00:35:46,400 logic i guess really uh-huh um someone 906 00:35:51,109 --> 00:35:49,359 on the youtube chat wants me to ask you 907 00:35:53,589 --> 00:35:51,119 to explain your theory on the ufo 908 00:35:56,390 --> 00:35:53,599 phenomena nuts and bolts alternate 909 00:35:58,630 --> 00:35:56,400 dimensions universe spiritual what what 910 00:35:59,750 --> 00:35:58,640 do you what do you what do you think 911 00:36:01,829 --> 00:35:59,760 about 912 00:36:03,109 --> 00:36:01,839 um we always wonder i mean i've always 913 00:36:05,670 --> 00:36:03,119 wondered 914 00:36:07,829 --> 00:36:05,680 what the heck is going on uh 915 00:36:09,910 --> 00:36:07,839 what are your thoughts 916 00:36:11,270 --> 00:36:09,920 well you know when i first got in 917 00:36:13,990 --> 00:36:11,280 interested in all this stuff you know i 918 00:36:16,710 --> 00:36:14,000 was a kid i was about 11 10 11 12 919 00:36:19,109 --> 00:36:16,720 something like that and um you know when 920 00:36:21,190 --> 00:36:19,119 you that age everything's sort of black 921 00:36:23,510 --> 00:36:21,200 and white you know and for me 922 00:36:26,150 --> 00:36:23,520 bigfoot was a giant ape and loch ness 923 00:36:28,230 --> 00:36:26,160 monsters were surviving dinosaurs and 924 00:36:30,230 --> 00:36:28,240 ufos with spaceships from other planets 925 00:36:31,430 --> 00:36:30,240 coming here to 926 00:36:34,470 --> 00:36:31,440 you know sort of 927 00:36:37,990 --> 00:36:34,480 do experiments and fly around and keep a 928 00:36:39,829 --> 00:36:38,000 look on the on the population um but 929 00:36:42,790 --> 00:36:39,839 certainly by the time you know i got to 930 00:36:45,030 --> 00:36:42,800 my sort of mid late 20s something like 931 00:36:46,230 --> 00:36:45,040 that you know i began to realize more 932 00:36:48,870 --> 00:36:46,240 and more that 933 00:36:50,630 --> 00:36:48,880 there were certain aspects of the ufo 934 00:36:52,870 --> 00:36:50,640 phenomenon that 935 00:36:55,589 --> 00:36:52,880 clearly crossed paths with the worlds of 936 00:36:57,030 --> 00:36:55,599 the paranormal and the supernatural you 937 00:36:59,430 --> 00:36:57,040 know and um 938 00:37:01,190 --> 00:36:59,440 and i came to sort of accept that we're 939 00:37:04,630 --> 00:37:01,200 dealing with something that goes far 940 00:37:06,870 --> 00:37:04,640 beyond just nuts and bolts 941 00:37:08,390 --> 00:37:06,880 aliens or somebody else's equivalent of 942 00:37:10,870 --> 00:37:08,400 nasa coming here 943 00:37:12,470 --> 00:37:10,880 you know when you find cases where as 944 00:37:14,790 --> 00:37:12,480 i've got a lot with the men and women in 945 00:37:16,150 --> 00:37:14,800 black where they've had the men in black 946 00:37:18,150 --> 00:37:16,160 and the women in black in their homes 947 00:37:20,069 --> 00:37:18,160 and shortly afterwards or in some cases 948 00:37:22,710 --> 00:37:20,079 immediately after they've left 949 00:37:25,270 --> 00:37:22,720 the person has experienced violent 950 00:37:28,390 --> 00:37:25,280 poltergeist activity in the home i've 951 00:37:31,990 --> 00:37:28,400 got quite a few reports of people who 952 00:37:34,710 --> 00:37:32,000 um were visited um by the men in black 953 00:37:36,710 --> 00:37:34,720 after dabbling with ouija boards now 954 00:37:38,950 --> 00:37:36,720 none of that can kind of be 955 00:37:41,510 --> 00:37:38,960 explained just by you know somebody 956 00:37:43,589 --> 00:37:41,520 coming to the earth in metal spaceships 957 00:37:46,069 --> 00:37:43,599 it's it sort of suggests 958 00:37:47,829 --> 00:37:46,079 you know that these phenomena are also 959 00:37:51,510 --> 00:37:47,839 somehow interlinked 960 00:37:52,950 --> 00:37:51,520 so certainly since my late 20s early 30s 961 00:37:54,829 --> 00:37:52,960 you know um 962 00:37:57,510 --> 00:37:54,839 while i don't rule out an 963 00:38:00,069 --> 00:37:57,520 extraterrestrial origin and i think it's 964 00:38:01,589 --> 00:38:00,079 quite possible i'm sort of more inclined 965 00:38:04,150 --> 00:38:01,599 to think 966 00:38:05,589 --> 00:38:04,160 these things could be probably more 967 00:38:07,109 --> 00:38:05,599 coexisting with us you know 968 00:38:09,670 --> 00:38:07,119 multi-dimensional 969 00:38:12,230 --> 00:38:09,680 and the world of the paranormal as we 970 00:38:14,630 --> 00:38:12,240 call it or supernatural is somehow tied 971 00:38:15,430 --> 00:38:14,640 in with all this as well i remember in 972 00:38:21,829 --> 00:38:15,440 your 973 00:38:24,550 --> 00:38:21,839 new book about uh uh let's see it was a 974 00:38:27,589 --> 00:38:24,560 chupacabra went into or out of one of 975 00:38:30,150 --> 00:38:27,599 the crafts that landed right 976 00:38:32,630 --> 00:38:30,160 yeah i mean i've been to puerto rico on 977 00:38:35,190 --> 00:38:32,640 many occasions looking for the um the 978 00:38:36,710 --> 00:38:35,200 original uh chupacabra which was 979 00:38:40,230 --> 00:38:36,720 reported 980 00:38:44,310 --> 00:38:40,240 first in in puerto rico in 1995 981 00:38:47,430 --> 00:38:44,320 and um between 2004 and the most recent 982 00:38:49,270 --> 00:38:47,440 time i went to puerto rico 2014 983 00:38:52,150 --> 00:38:49,280 um i said i've been there many times 984 00:38:54,230 --> 00:38:52,160 looking into accounts of chupacabra 985 00:38:55,910 --> 00:38:54,240 and you know a lot of the reports are 986 00:38:58,870 --> 00:38:55,920 just where people have seen these 987 00:39:01,510 --> 00:38:58,880 creatures or you know their farmers 988 00:39:03,510 --> 00:39:01,520 whose animals were attacked by them or 989 00:39:06,150 --> 00:39:03,520 in some cases veterinarians and police 990 00:39:07,349 --> 00:39:06,160 officers who were involved in either 991 00:39:10,150 --> 00:39:07,359 recovering 992 00:39:11,670 --> 00:39:10,160 um you know farm animals killed by these 993 00:39:14,710 --> 00:39:11,680 creatures allegedly and then you know 994 00:39:16,790 --> 00:39:14,720 being autopsied and so on but every now 995 00:39:20,470 --> 00:39:16,800 and again a really weird story would 996 00:39:23,109 --> 00:39:20,480 surface where for example um someone 997 00:39:26,390 --> 00:39:23,119 would um see a chupacabra 998 00:39:28,550 --> 00:39:26,400 in the same location the same time frame 999 00:39:29,990 --> 00:39:28,560 as a ufo and yeah there's there's one 1000 00:39:33,349 --> 00:39:30,000 case in the book 1001 00:39:35,670 --> 00:39:33,359 where a woman saw this um chupacabra 1002 00:39:37,190 --> 00:39:35,680 which was described as like a walking on 1003 00:39:39,829 --> 00:39:37,200 two legs it was sort of like imagine 1004 00:39:42,630 --> 00:39:39,839 like a chimpanzee but hairless 1005 00:39:45,589 --> 00:39:42,640 and with a row of spikes down its head 1006 00:39:46,550 --> 00:39:45,599 and neck but the cut same kind of speed 1007 00:39:49,589 --> 00:39:46,560 build 1008 00:39:51,510 --> 00:39:49,599 and and stance of a chimpanzee you know 1009 00:39:53,270 --> 00:39:51,520 which can be quite violent animals you 1010 00:39:56,230 --> 00:39:53,280 know when you if you 1011 00:39:58,310 --> 00:39:56,240 confront them um and that's how it was 1012 00:40:00,310 --> 00:39:58,320 described but 1013 00:40:03,109 --> 00:40:00,320 instead of just sort of racing off into 1014 00:40:05,910 --> 00:40:03,119 the el yankee rainforest it actually 1015 00:40:07,430 --> 00:40:05,920 sort of charged aboard this ufo which 1016 00:40:08,230 --> 00:40:07,440 shot into the sky 1017 00:40:10,230 --> 00:40:08,240 now 1018 00:40:13,190 --> 00:40:10,240 puerto rico does have a long history of 1019 00:40:15,990 --> 00:40:13,200 ufo activity and regardless of what 1020 00:40:18,470 --> 00:40:16,000 people think of the situation the fact 1021 00:40:20,710 --> 00:40:18,480 is that where a lot of the chupacabra 1022 00:40:23,270 --> 00:40:20,720 sightings have been made there have been 1023 00:40:25,270 --> 00:40:23,280 a lot of ufo activity such as 1024 00:40:28,230 --> 00:40:25,280 in the al yankee rainforest which is 1025 00:40:30,790 --> 00:40:28,240 this huge rainforest that dominates 1026 00:40:32,950 --> 00:40:30,800 puerto rico so although these stories 1027 00:40:34,630 --> 00:40:32,960 are controversial you know when you sit 1028 00:40:36,950 --> 00:40:34,640 down with people and you hear these 1029 00:40:38,950 --> 00:40:36,960 accounts and the you know they they see 1030 00:40:40,550 --> 00:40:38,960 they look you in the eye and just 1031 00:40:43,190 --> 00:40:40,560 you know they just want answers as well 1032 00:40:46,150 --> 00:40:43,200 as we do um you know i have to say they 1033 00:40:50,710 --> 00:40:46,160 come across as very credible people just 1034 00:40:54,710 --> 00:40:52,950 well here's a uh we also get some 1035 00:40:56,870 --> 00:40:54,720 questions on our forum here and here's 1036 00:40:58,630 --> 00:40:56,880 one here out of all your research that 1037 00:41:01,430 --> 00:40:58,640 you've done over the years if you had to 1038 00:41:03,910 --> 00:41:01,440 pick one case to try and influence 1039 00:41:06,309 --> 00:41:03,920 skeptics in the scientific community 1040 00:41:08,950 --> 00:41:06,319 that we are being visited which case 1041 00:41:11,430 --> 00:41:08,960 would you choose that you feel would be 1042 00:41:12,950 --> 00:41:11,440 the most compelling 1043 00:41:14,950 --> 00:41:12,960 um well that's actually a really good 1044 00:41:17,030 --> 00:41:14,960 one um 1045 00:41:18,470 --> 00:41:17,040 i i get i'm not so much biased but i 1046 00:41:20,550 --> 00:41:18,480 think for me i would say the rendles 1047 00:41:21,990 --> 00:41:20,560 from forrest case not just because in 1048 00:41:23,750 --> 00:41:22,000 england not just because i'm from 1049 00:41:25,190 --> 00:41:23,760 england but because 1050 00:41:26,710 --> 00:41:25,200 living in england at the time it 1051 00:41:29,910 --> 00:41:26,720 happened i mean i was only a kid then in 1052 00:41:32,069 --> 00:41:29,920 1980 um so i wasn't researching then or 1053 00:41:33,589 --> 00:41:32,079 anything but because the uk is such a 1054 00:41:35,670 --> 00:41:33,599 small country 1055 00:41:37,510 --> 00:41:35,680 you know the story really when it was 1056 00:41:39,670 --> 00:41:37,520 released or surfaced 1057 00:41:41,349 --> 00:41:39,680 you know everybody in the country heard 1058 00:41:43,349 --> 00:41:41,359 it whether they were interested in ufos 1059 00:41:44,230 --> 00:41:43,359 or not and so when i got involved in the 1060 00:41:46,870 --> 00:41:44,240 case 1061 00:41:49,990 --> 00:41:46,880 and investigating it you know i came to 1062 00:41:52,309 --> 00:41:50,000 realize that this wasn't an event which 1063 00:41:54,550 --> 00:41:52,319 occurred in december 1980 in woods just 1064 00:41:57,190 --> 00:41:54,560 outside a military military base on the 1065 00:41:58,390 --> 00:41:57,200 east coast of england this wasn't just a 1066 00:42:00,150 --> 00:41:58,400 excuse me 1067 00:42:02,710 --> 00:42:00,160 a case involving 1068 00:42:04,309 --> 00:42:02,720 you know two or three witnesses but you 1069 00:42:06,870 --> 00:42:04,319 know you had dozens of military 1070 00:42:08,630 --> 00:42:06,880 personnel out in the woods 1071 00:42:11,270 --> 00:42:08,640 seeing this object that was described as 1072 00:42:13,510 --> 00:42:11,280 like a triangle pyramid shape type 1073 00:42:16,390 --> 00:42:13,520 object there were reports of strange 1074 00:42:18,470 --> 00:42:16,400 creatures seen in the woods missing time 1075 00:42:21,589 --> 00:42:18,480 uh interrogations by military 1076 00:42:22,390 --> 00:42:21,599 intelligence denials by the government 1077 00:42:23,670 --> 00:42:22,400 and 1078 00:42:24,790 --> 00:42:23,680 you know when you put all of this 1079 00:42:27,349 --> 00:42:24,800 together 1080 00:42:29,750 --> 00:42:27,359 um to me for me at least you know 1081 00:42:30,950 --> 00:42:29,760 randall shermy's is one of the standout 1082 00:42:32,630 --> 00:42:30,960 ones now 1083 00:42:34,470 --> 00:42:32,640 you know the same could be said about 1084 00:42:36,150 --> 00:42:34,480 roswell but the reason why i sort of 1085 00:42:38,390 --> 00:42:36,160 lean more towards 1086 00:42:41,270 --> 00:42:38,400 rendelsham is because you know roswell 1087 00:42:42,309 --> 00:42:41,280 this year is 70 years old so in other 1088 00:42:44,630 --> 00:42:42,319 words 1089 00:42:46,950 --> 00:42:44,640 there's really nobody left now that we 1090 00:42:48,870 --> 00:42:46,960 can speak to to continue the 1091 00:42:51,670 --> 00:42:48,880 investigation investigation we've kind 1092 00:42:53,829 --> 00:42:51,680 of almost hit a brick wall now with 1093 00:42:55,829 --> 00:42:53,839 rendelsham a lot of the guys when this 1094 00:42:58,150 --> 00:42:55,839 happened in 1980 they were only sort of 1095 00:43:00,069 --> 00:42:58,160 like 19 or 20. so they're only in the 1096 00:43:03,670 --> 00:43:00,079 mid 50s now you know so we've got 1097 00:43:08,069 --> 00:43:03,680 another potential 25 years you know 1098 00:43:10,390 --> 00:43:08,079 before these guys get up high in age um 1099 00:43:13,589 --> 00:43:10,400 to you know another 25 years to continue 1100 00:43:15,910 --> 00:43:13,599 speaking with all the original witnesses 1101 00:43:16,870 --> 00:43:15,920 and so that's why i think it's important 1102 00:43:20,069 --> 00:43:16,880 because 1103 00:43:23,109 --> 00:43:20,079 we can still continue to investigate 1104 00:43:25,190 --> 00:43:23,119 that case with the witnesses roswell 1105 00:43:27,430 --> 00:43:25,200 it's becoming tougher and tougher to do 1106 00:43:29,190 --> 00:43:27,440 that when pretty much everybody's gone i 1107 00:43:31,510 --> 00:43:29,200 mean if you think about it if you had a 1108 00:43:35,109 --> 00:43:31,520 guard out at the roswell crash site in 1109 00:43:36,790 --> 00:43:35,119 1947 and they were 20 they'd be 90 now 1110 00:43:38,470 --> 00:43:36,800 that's how long ago 1111 00:43:39,270 --> 00:43:38,480 roswell was when you think about it like 1112 00:43:41,589 --> 00:43:39,280 that 1113 00:43:43,829 --> 00:43:41,599 so when everybody's gone 1114 00:43:46,150 --> 00:43:43,839 in relation to roswell yes it's an 1115 00:43:49,030 --> 00:43:46,160 important case but how do we take it 1116 00:43:51,109 --> 00:43:49,040 further and i think that's the problem 1117 00:43:52,950 --> 00:43:51,119 with roswell it one day it'll be 1118 00:43:55,109 --> 00:43:52,960 rendlesham's problem but the important 1119 00:43:58,230 --> 00:43:55,119 thing is that right now it isn't and it 1120 00:44:00,230 --> 00:43:58,240 shouldn't be you know for the next 25 30 1121 00:44:02,150 --> 00:44:00,240 years or whatever i think i mentioned 1122 00:44:04,150 --> 00:44:02,160 this on someone else's show i hope i 1123 00:44:05,190 --> 00:44:04,160 didn't say it last week on this show but 1124 00:44:07,670 --> 00:44:05,200 um 1125 00:44:09,109 --> 00:44:07,680 where do you think roswell will be like 1126 00:44:10,230 --> 00:44:09,119 to say if there's 1127 00:44:13,829 --> 00:44:10,240 if we 1128 00:44:16,309 --> 00:44:13,839 have proof 1129 00:44:18,390 --> 00:44:16,319 that uh we are being visited by 1130 00:44:20,150 --> 00:44:18,400 extraterrestrial or whatever 1131 00:44:21,990 --> 00:44:20,160 where would you think uh 1132 00:44:23,270 --> 00:44:22,000 roswell will end up do you think it'll 1133 00:44:26,150 --> 00:44:23,280 be just like a 1134 00:44:28,230 --> 00:44:26,160 a mythology like 1135 00:44:30,390 --> 00:44:28,240 or or what 1136 00:44:32,870 --> 00:44:30,400 well i hate to say this i don't mean it 1137 00:44:34,309 --> 00:44:32,880 to be defeatist i'm just trying to take 1138 00:44:36,710 --> 00:44:34,319 a look at it from a realistic 1139 00:44:38,950 --> 00:44:36,720 perspective you know if 1140 00:44:40,550 --> 00:44:38,960 every you know 10 years from now even 1141 00:44:41,589 --> 00:44:40,560 the second hand witnesses like the 1142 00:44:42,950 --> 00:44:41,599 children 1143 00:44:44,710 --> 00:44:42,960 are going to be dead you know there's 1144 00:44:47,109 --> 00:44:44,720 not going to be anybody probably left at 1145 00:44:49,030 --> 00:44:47,119 all 10 years from now 1146 00:44:51,109 --> 00:44:49,040 who was at the site or even like i said 1147 00:44:51,910 --> 00:44:51,119 the second hand witnesses as well 1148 00:44:54,470 --> 00:44:51,920 so 1149 00:44:56,230 --> 00:44:54,480 the only other chances then of roswell 1150 00:44:58,950 --> 00:44:56,240 coming out would be 1151 00:45:01,109 --> 00:44:58,960 if the government's disclosed 1152 00:45:03,349 --> 00:45:01,119 and i've got to be honest i'm not a big 1153 00:45:05,349 --> 00:45:03,359 fan of disclosure you know i'm tired of 1154 00:45:07,510 --> 00:45:05,359 that sort of hearing every other year or 1155 00:45:09,109 --> 00:45:07,520 every year oh it's coming next year it's 1156 00:45:11,109 --> 00:45:09,119 coming next year it's coming in the next 1157 00:45:13,670 --> 00:45:11,119 administration it's like well give me a 1158 00:45:16,390 --> 00:45:13,680 break you know either put up or shut the 1159 00:45:18,150 --> 00:45:16,400 hell up you know um i don't want to keep 1160 00:45:20,710 --> 00:45:18,160 hearing you parroting every year that 1161 00:45:22,790 --> 00:45:20,720 disclosure's coming either show us or 1162 00:45:23,750 --> 00:45:22,800 don't shut up and go away 1163 00:45:29,990 --> 00:45:23,760 um 1164 00:45:32,069 --> 00:45:30,000 i think there's two other ways 1165 00:45:34,309 --> 00:45:32,079 the truth of roswell could come out one 1166 00:45:36,710 --> 00:45:34,319 would be if something was 1167 00:45:38,150 --> 00:45:36,720 declassified by accidents 1168 00:45:40,150 --> 00:45:38,160 which i don't think there's much of a 1169 00:45:43,349 --> 00:45:40,160 chance of happening but you know things 1170 00:45:45,750 --> 00:45:43,359 like that do happen occasionally um and 1171 00:45:48,309 --> 00:45:45,760 the other way would be if there was kind 1172 00:45:51,510 --> 00:45:48,319 of what i would call like a ufological 1173 00:45:53,430 --> 00:45:51,520 edward snowden you know who in the same 1174 00:45:55,910 --> 00:45:53,440 way snowed and you know leaked all these 1175 00:45:58,630 --> 00:45:55,920 documents and stories etc 1176 00:46:00,230 --> 00:45:58,640 if somebody did the same with roswell 1177 00:46:02,470 --> 00:46:00,240 but i think the important thing to 1178 00:46:05,030 --> 00:46:02,480 remember is that a lot of people forget 1179 00:46:06,710 --> 00:46:05,040 this is that roswell happened in 47 this 1180 00:46:07,670 --> 00:46:06,720 was pre-internet 1181 00:46:10,710 --> 00:46:07,680 um 1182 00:46:13,990 --> 00:46:10,720 and at an age when a staging in you know 1183 00:46:16,550 --> 00:46:14,000 in our history when everything was put 1184 00:46:19,270 --> 00:46:16,560 down on paper it may well be that the 1185 00:46:22,870 --> 00:46:19,280 reason why the roswell secret is so well 1186 00:46:25,990 --> 00:46:22,880 kept is because what is being hidden is 1187 00:46:27,270 --> 00:46:26,000 not masses of computer files that the 1188 00:46:29,750 --> 00:46:27,280 government has to worry about somebody 1189 00:46:30,790 --> 00:46:29,760 hacking into it could just be file you 1190 00:46:33,030 --> 00:46:30,800 know 1191 00:46:34,870 --> 00:46:33,040 filing cabinets upon filing cabinets of 1192 00:46:36,550 --> 00:46:34,880 all the old files from the 40s and the 1193 00:46:38,550 --> 00:46:36,560 50s on roswell 1194 00:46:40,550 --> 00:46:38,560 which no one has to worry about because 1195 00:46:43,030 --> 00:46:40,560 they're protected and guarded and how do 1196 00:46:45,190 --> 00:46:43,040 you hack a piece of paper well you don't 1197 00:46:47,430 --> 00:46:45,200 you know so it could be that everything 1198 00:46:50,309 --> 00:46:47,440 is just stored away 1199 00:46:53,589 --> 00:46:50,319 and in sort of an impenetrable vault 50 1200 00:46:54,630 --> 00:46:53,599 feet underground that's guarded 24 7 and 1201 00:46:57,589 --> 00:46:54,640 which 1202 00:47:01,190 --> 00:46:57,599 is not computerized in any way in that 1203 00:47:04,069 --> 00:47:01,200 sense i hate to admit it but the secret 1204 00:47:05,750 --> 00:47:04,079 could be very easily kept if that's 1205 00:47:07,349 --> 00:47:05,760 the situation you know you imagine 1206 00:47:10,870 --> 00:47:07,359 hypothetically there's this bunker 1207 00:47:13,430 --> 00:47:10,880 underground say 200 feet by 200 feet and 1208 00:47:15,349 --> 00:47:13,440 it contains you know all the files that 1209 00:47:17,270 --> 00:47:15,359 were put together years ago trying to 1210 00:47:19,030 --> 00:47:17,280 figure out what was going on and autopsy 1211 00:47:20,150 --> 00:47:19,040 reports but it's all in paper form 1212 00:47:22,710 --> 00:47:20,160 because you know that's when everything 1213 00:47:24,790 --> 00:47:22,720 went down and let's say the wreckage is 1214 00:47:26,950 --> 00:47:24,800 stored there and the bodies are 1215 00:47:27,990 --> 00:47:26,960 preserved in you know cryogenically in 1216 00:47:29,510 --> 00:47:28,000 tanks 1217 00:47:30,549 --> 00:47:29,520 um 1218 00:47:32,309 --> 00:47:30,559 you know there's 1219 00:47:36,309 --> 00:47:32,319 that could actually be well hidden 1220 00:47:38,549 --> 00:47:36,319 forever so the pro the possibility is 1221 00:47:39,750 --> 00:47:38,559 that you know 100 years from now 50 1222 00:47:41,910 --> 00:47:39,760 years from now 1223 00:47:44,069 --> 00:47:41,920 um roswell could be like 1224 00:47:46,309 --> 00:47:44,079 an american version of britain's jack 1225 00:47:49,190 --> 00:47:46,319 the ripper where you've got this old 1226 00:47:52,150 --> 00:47:49,200 mystery filled with lots of intrigue 1227 00:47:54,150 --> 00:47:52,160 lots of characters and witnesses and 1228 00:47:56,150 --> 00:47:54,160 numerous different theories 1229 00:47:58,230 --> 00:47:56,160 but it's so long ago 1230 00:48:01,109 --> 00:47:58,240 that it's in that stage where no matter 1231 00:48:03,670 --> 00:48:01,119 what people say what no matter what new 1232 00:48:06,230 --> 00:48:03,680 theories come along or data you can 1233 00:48:07,829 --> 00:48:06,240 never prove it because it's so long ago 1234 00:48:10,790 --> 00:48:07,839 and the evidence 1235 00:48:12,950 --> 00:48:10,800 we don't have it you know so right right 1236 00:48:14,630 --> 00:48:12,960 i think they just it was just something 1237 00:48:15,990 --> 00:48:14,640 last year on jack the ripper like they 1238 00:48:18,549 --> 00:48:16,000 think they have it 1239 00:48:20,950 --> 00:48:18,559 solved finally but uh that's probably 1240 00:48:22,630 --> 00:48:20,960 just another another turn turn in the 1241 00:48:24,549 --> 00:48:22,640 road um 1242 00:48:26,870 --> 00:48:24,559 on the youtube chat room someone wants 1243 00:48:29,190 --> 00:48:26,880 to know what part of ufology would you 1244 00:48:30,710 --> 00:48:29,200 prefer just go away is there a subject 1245 00:48:33,109 --> 00:48:30,720 in the field that 1246 00:48:35,030 --> 00:48:33,119 you can't get behind and you think is 1247 00:48:36,710 --> 00:48:35,040 rubbish 1248 00:48:38,630 --> 00:48:36,720 um 1249 00:48:39,420 --> 00:48:38,640 you could say no an english person using 1250 00:48:43,750 --> 00:48:39,430 the word rubbish 1251 00:48:48,309 --> 00:48:43,760 [Laughter] 1252 00:48:53,109 --> 00:48:51,670 i don't know really i mean um 1253 00:48:55,349 --> 00:48:53,119 i think 1254 00:48:58,390 --> 00:48:55,359 you know to a degree most aspects of the 1255 00:49:01,910 --> 00:48:58,400 ufo phenomenon have validity to them 1256 00:49:03,430 --> 00:49:01,920 it's just a matter of finding um 1257 00:49:04,790 --> 00:49:03,440 evidence you know 1258 00:49:06,390 --> 00:49:04,800 um 1259 00:49:08,150 --> 00:49:06,400 i don't know if there's any that i wish 1260 00:49:10,790 --> 00:49:08,160 would go away but there are certainly 1261 00:49:12,549 --> 00:49:10,800 some that are more interested in and 1262 00:49:14,790 --> 00:49:12,559 then and less interested in others i 1263 00:49:16,549 --> 00:49:14,800 mean for example you know stuff like the 1264 00:49:18,230 --> 00:49:16,559 men in black and the women in black all 1265 00:49:20,470 --> 00:49:18,240 that kind of stuff like the black-eyed 1266 00:49:22,710 --> 00:49:20,480 children and you know the shadow people 1267 00:49:25,430 --> 00:49:22,720 that sort of stuff really interests me 1268 00:49:27,349 --> 00:49:25,440 and roswell interests me a lot as well 1269 00:49:31,589 --> 00:49:27,359 and and i'm very interested as well in 1270 00:49:34,069 --> 00:49:31,599 the the contact t movement of the 1950s 1271 00:49:36,470 --> 00:49:34,079 but you know sort of one of the things 1272 00:49:37,990 --> 00:49:36,480 that really doesn't interest me and not 1273 00:49:39,750 --> 00:49:38,000 because i don't believe it's not a valid 1274 00:49:41,589 --> 00:49:39,760 phenomenon i think it is 1275 00:49:44,710 --> 00:49:41,599 it's the reports of like you know the 1276 00:49:46,230 --> 00:49:44,720 black flying triangles um 1277 00:49:47,990 --> 00:49:46,240 you know 1278 00:49:50,150 --> 00:49:48,000 i mean it's an interesting phenomenon in 1279 00:49:51,829 --> 00:49:50,160 the sense that they're flying around and 1280 00:49:53,430 --> 00:49:51,839 there's a lot of debate as to what they 1281 00:49:55,349 --> 00:49:53,440 are you know are they military craft are 1282 00:49:58,790 --> 00:49:55,359 they alien spacecraft 1283 00:50:00,390 --> 00:49:58,800 but you know when you read report after 1284 00:50:02,549 --> 00:50:00,400 report of another flying triangle 1285 00:50:04,710 --> 00:50:02,559 another flying triangle i'm kind of like 1286 00:50:07,270 --> 00:50:04,720 okay we know it's a real phenomenon 1287 00:50:09,670 --> 00:50:07,280 we've got statistical reports going back 1288 00:50:11,670 --> 00:50:09,680 you know a couple of decades 1289 00:50:13,750 --> 00:50:11,680 i don't need to read any more reports of 1290 00:50:14,790 --> 00:50:13,760 a black triangle what i need 1291 00:50:16,390 --> 00:50:14,800 is 1292 00:50:17,990 --> 00:50:16,400 let's take it to the next step let's try 1293 00:50:20,390 --> 00:50:18,000 and find out what they are where they're 1294 00:50:24,309 --> 00:50:20,400 coming from and make that the thrust of 1295 00:50:27,430 --> 00:50:24,319 it so um i think sometimes ufology 1296 00:50:29,910 --> 00:50:27,440 relies on um 1297 00:50:32,630 --> 00:50:29,920 you know the number of reports 1298 00:50:34,309 --> 00:50:32,640 has been the credible part of the story 1299 00:50:35,990 --> 00:50:34,319 you know the more reports that adds to 1300 00:50:38,390 --> 00:50:36,000 our credibility well now it actually 1301 00:50:40,549 --> 00:50:38,400 doesn't what adds to our credibility 1302 00:50:42,470 --> 00:50:40,559 is solving the phenomenon 1303 00:50:43,510 --> 00:50:42,480 you know so um 1304 00:50:45,270 --> 00:50:43,520 i think 1305 00:50:47,510 --> 00:50:45,280 yeah it's good to have a lot of reports 1306 00:50:49,750 --> 00:50:47,520 and statistics and things like that 1307 00:50:52,950 --> 00:50:49,760 but there's a point where we have enough 1308 00:50:53,750 --> 00:50:52,960 material to make a case the next step is 1309 00:51:00,470 --> 00:50:53,760 to 1310 00:51:01,109 --> 00:51:00,480 i've had a few on the show in the past 1311 00:51:02,870 --> 00:51:01,119 and 1312 00:51:04,150 --> 00:51:02,880 uh you know i've asked them a question 1313 00:51:07,349 --> 00:51:04,160 what type of 1314 00:51:10,230 --> 00:51:07,359 proof would you actually need and they 1315 00:51:12,309 --> 00:51:10,240 that the answers i get are always the 1316 00:51:15,109 --> 00:51:12,319 same you know physical evidence 1317 00:51:17,030 --> 00:51:15,119 something they can you know research and 1318 00:51:19,990 --> 00:51:17,040 you know hold in their hands type of 1319 00:51:23,030 --> 00:51:20,000 thing i remember um uh seth shawstack 1320 00:51:25,990 --> 00:51:23,040 from seti said he would need a a wing in 1321 00:51:28,470 --> 00:51:26,000 the smithsonian with uh ufo parts in it 1322 00:51:30,790 --> 00:51:28,480 before he'd believe in it 1323 00:51:32,470 --> 00:51:30,800 so well you know i mean i understand 1324 00:51:36,630 --> 00:51:32,480 sort of the need for 1325 00:51:38,790 --> 00:51:36,640 evidence but you know sometimes um 1326 00:51:40,710 --> 00:51:38,800 the body of data 1327 00:51:43,349 --> 00:51:40,720 is certain if not proof it's definitely 1328 00:51:45,829 --> 00:51:43,359 sort of persuasive i mean you know there 1329 00:51:47,589 --> 00:51:45,839 are examples where people have been 1330 00:51:48,470 --> 00:51:47,599 found guilty of murder when there's no 1331 00:51:50,710 --> 00:51:48,480 body 1332 00:51:52,549 --> 00:51:50,720 you know um 1333 00:51:54,230 --> 00:51:52,559 millions well billions of people not 1334 00:51:56,870 --> 00:51:54,240 millions millions of people billions of 1335 00:51:58,870 --> 00:51:56,880 people you know believe in a god you 1336 00:52:01,589 --> 00:51:58,880 know and i'm sort of open-minded on the 1337 00:52:02,470 --> 00:52:01,599 whole phenomenon of of that as to what 1338 00:52:06,390 --> 00:52:02,480 you know 1339 00:52:08,790 --> 00:52:06,400 i don't mean this 1340 00:52:10,950 --> 00:52:08,800 with disrespect i mean it just as a fact 1341 00:52:13,190 --> 00:52:10,960 um you know billions of people believe 1342 00:52:15,910 --> 00:52:13,200 in the existence of a god 1343 00:52:17,589 --> 00:52:15,920 on belief alone you know and there's 1344 00:52:19,589 --> 00:52:17,599 nothing wrong with that you know i don't 1345 00:52:22,150 --> 00:52:19,599 have a problem with people who have 1346 00:52:24,069 --> 00:52:22,160 faith or anything like that at all but 1347 00:52:27,829 --> 00:52:24,079 you know i think 1348 00:52:30,150 --> 00:52:27,839 you can't criticize ufology for 1349 00:52:33,030 --> 00:52:30,160 believing the accounts and believing the 1350 00:52:35,190 --> 00:52:33,040 statistics when somebody else believes 1351 00:52:38,470 --> 00:52:35,200 you know that when they die some part of 1352 00:52:41,510 --> 00:52:38,480 the body continues you know um 1353 00:52:42,950 --> 00:52:41,520 so i think in that sense um 1354 00:52:44,630 --> 00:52:42,960 if we're going to be criticized for 1355 00:52:46,390 --> 00:52:44,640 believing in things 1356 00:52:47,430 --> 00:52:46,400 then that should 1357 00:52:50,150 --> 00:52:47,440 um 1358 00:52:52,950 --> 00:52:50,160 apply across the board or it shouldn't 1359 00:52:54,950 --> 00:52:52,960 apply at all you know i think with the 1360 00:52:57,430 --> 00:52:54,960 flying triangles do we have a flying 1361 00:53:00,309 --> 00:52:57,440 triangle in hand no we don't 1362 00:53:01,910 --> 00:53:00,319 can we make a persuasive case that 1363 00:53:04,710 --> 00:53:01,920 allows us to believe these things are 1364 00:53:07,190 --> 00:53:04,720 real yes we can because of you know we 1365 00:53:09,270 --> 00:53:07,200 have a few photographs and we have 1366 00:53:11,589 --> 00:53:09,280 highly credible testimony from military 1367 00:53:14,870 --> 00:53:11,599 personnel so um 1368 00:53:16,870 --> 00:53:14,880 in that sense you know um belief you 1369 00:53:19,349 --> 00:53:16,880 know becomes sort of a blurry line 1370 00:53:21,990 --> 00:53:21,030 now uh 1371 00:53:25,190 --> 00:53:22,000 about 1372 00:53:26,230 --> 00:53:25,200 the the triangles uh are you saying that 1373 00:53:28,390 --> 00:53:26,240 uh 1374 00:53:30,470 --> 00:53:28,400 that you just have heard way too many 1375 00:53:32,790 --> 00:53:30,480 cases or do you think 1376 00:53:34,390 --> 00:53:32,800 um are your thoughts on that as uh a lot 1377 00:53:36,549 --> 00:53:34,400 of people will say they think it's 1378 00:53:38,549 --> 00:53:36,559 probably like a military type of 1379 00:53:40,710 --> 00:53:38,559 situation well 1380 00:53:42,790 --> 00:53:40,720 yeah well i mean i i would say i've got 1381 00:53:44,470 --> 00:53:42,800 i've heard enough not because i'm 1382 00:53:46,470 --> 00:53:44,480 getting you know i just can't be 1383 00:53:48,630 --> 00:53:46,480 bothered to listen it's not that it's 1384 00:53:50,549 --> 00:53:48,640 just that we have so many 1385 00:53:52,790 --> 00:53:50,559 that we've made the case 1386 00:53:54,630 --> 00:53:52,800 that these things are real they clearly 1387 00:53:56,790 --> 00:53:54,640 are because you know the witnesses have 1388 00:53:58,390 --> 00:53:56,800 been sort of good enough to come forward 1389 00:53:59,990 --> 00:53:58,400 and share their experiences so we know 1390 00:54:02,470 --> 00:54:00,000 they're real 1391 00:54:05,829 --> 00:54:02,480 what where i look at it is 1392 00:54:08,069 --> 00:54:05,839 we just don't need to keep 1393 00:54:11,109 --> 00:54:08,079 adding to the statistics because that 1394 00:54:13,589 --> 00:54:11,119 takes time away from investigating the 1395 00:54:15,670 --> 00:54:13,599 phenomenon more you know if we've got 2 1396 00:54:18,309 --> 00:54:15,680 000 reports of flying 1397 00:54:20,950 --> 00:54:18,319 triangles in the last 10 years say 1398 00:54:22,470 --> 00:54:20,960 um you know we could have another 10 2 1399 00:54:24,790 --> 00:54:22,480 000 in another couple of years and 1400 00:54:25,829 --> 00:54:24,800 another two half thousand after that 1401 00:54:28,470 --> 00:54:25,839 but 1402 00:54:30,870 --> 00:54:28,480 that will just give us more reports 1403 00:54:32,950 --> 00:54:30,880 what we need to do is 1404 00:54:35,270 --> 00:54:32,960 try and find that you know what i would 1405 00:54:37,270 --> 00:54:35,280 do if i was investigating flying tribes 1406 00:54:39,430 --> 00:54:37,280 is to look at patterns of 1407 00:54:42,069 --> 00:54:39,440 geographical distribution 1408 00:54:44,230 --> 00:54:42,079 how many are seen near military bases 1409 00:54:45,589 --> 00:54:44,240 how many are seen by where it's 1410 00:54:48,069 --> 00:54:45,599 suspected there are underground 1411 00:54:51,030 --> 00:54:48,079 installations which might point in the 1412 00:54:52,630 --> 00:54:51,040 direction of a military craft 1413 00:54:54,470 --> 00:54:52,640 have they been reported outside the 1414 00:54:56,870 --> 00:54:54,480 earth's atmosphere which suggests they 1415 00:54:58,309 --> 00:54:56,880 might be from somewhere else i think we 1416 00:54:59,910 --> 00:54:58,319 need to sort of 1417 00:55:01,430 --> 00:54:59,920 what i try and do very often with 1418 00:55:03,829 --> 00:55:01,440 investigation you sort of take an 1419 00:55:05,349 --> 00:55:03,839 alternative approach because 1420 00:55:06,470 --> 00:55:05,359 you know we're dealing with alternative 1421 00:55:07,670 --> 00:55:06,480 phenomena 1422 00:55:09,750 --> 00:55:07,680 and so 1423 00:55:10,549 --> 00:55:09,760 look in directions and ask questions 1424 00:55:13,030 --> 00:55:10,559 that 1425 00:55:15,589 --> 00:55:13,040 aren't necessarily the ones you might 1426 00:55:17,589 --> 00:55:15,599 ask you know look at um 1427 00:55:19,349 --> 00:55:17,599 we need to it's such a weird subject we 1428 00:55:21,589 --> 00:55:19,359 need to think outside the box you know 1429 00:55:23,829 --> 00:55:21,599 it's sometimes not enough just to try 1430 00:55:25,829 --> 00:55:23,839 and make a case by saying well 1431 00:55:28,069 --> 00:55:25,839 i've got 300 reports 1432 00:55:30,069 --> 00:55:28,079 of this particular phenomenon 1433 00:55:31,670 --> 00:55:30,079 that's the case made well it isn't it 1434 00:55:32,789 --> 00:55:31,680 just means you've got 300 cases so 1435 00:55:34,870 --> 00:55:32,799 that's that's what i mean about the 1436 00:55:37,190 --> 00:55:34,880 flying triangles it's not 1437 00:55:38,069 --> 00:55:37,200 i hate the phenomenon or anything like 1438 00:55:41,990 --> 00:55:38,079 that 1439 00:55:43,990 --> 00:55:42,000 i think now we need to sort of go in 1440 00:55:46,950 --> 00:55:44,000 another direction with it which might 1441 00:55:50,150 --> 00:55:46,960 lead to answers rather than just more 1442 00:55:51,670 --> 00:55:50,160 filled up filing cabinets thumb drives 1443 00:55:53,670 --> 00:55:51,680 you know or whatever 1444 00:55:55,990 --> 00:55:53,680 now what do you think about um the ufo 1445 00:55:57,670 --> 00:55:56,000 detections out there there's a couple of 1446 00:55:59,750 --> 00:55:57,680 people working on them one of them is 1447 00:56:01,109 --> 00:55:59,760 cubesat i'm not sure what's going on 1448 00:56:04,069 --> 00:56:01,119 with that then there's 1449 00:56:07,190 --> 00:56:04,079 talk and then there's uh the one let's 1450 00:56:10,069 --> 00:56:07,200 see it's on my website um 1451 00:56:11,510 --> 00:56:10,079 ufo data 1452 00:56:14,390 --> 00:56:11,520 do you think they're yeah that's a good 1453 00:56:15,270 --> 00:56:14,400 idea that they're looking to get 1454 00:56:17,430 --> 00:56:15,280 some 1455 00:56:20,470 --> 00:56:17,440 hard data 1456 00:56:22,789 --> 00:56:20,480 yeah i mean if you know if if it works 1457 00:56:25,670 --> 00:56:22,799 and it proves to work again and again 1458 00:56:26,470 --> 00:56:25,680 and again then you know i'm all for it i 1459 00:56:29,030 --> 00:56:26,480 think 1460 00:56:31,190 --> 00:56:29,040 you know we need to sort of find 1461 00:56:33,270 --> 00:56:31,200 new ways to investigate the subject 1462 00:56:35,829 --> 00:56:33,280 because for all the work that's been 1463 00:56:37,430 --> 00:56:35,839 done in the last 70 years 1464 00:56:39,589 --> 00:56:37,440 we're still really kind of scratching 1465 00:56:41,589 --> 00:56:39,599 our heads wondering what on earth going 1466 00:56:44,870 --> 00:56:41,599 on where these things are from 1467 00:56:47,750 --> 00:56:44,880 so again you know any any alternative 1468 00:56:50,630 --> 00:56:47,760 way that might provide us you know ever 1469 00:56:52,789 --> 00:56:50,640 you know through detection um where 1470 00:56:54,789 --> 00:56:52,799 maybe even we could anticipate where a 1471 00:56:57,349 --> 00:56:54,799 ufo might turn up that kind of thing if 1472 00:56:59,670 --> 00:56:57,359 that you know for detecting them 1473 00:57:01,510 --> 00:56:59,680 uncover some kind of pattern 1474 00:57:03,990 --> 00:57:01,520 maybe that would sort of open even more 1475 00:57:05,589 --> 00:57:04,000 doors so i'm all for sort of looking 1476 00:57:07,270 --> 00:57:05,599 you know outside of the box when it 1477 00:57:09,670 --> 00:57:07,280 comes to 1478 00:57:12,789 --> 00:57:09,680 trying to get answers and trying to get 1479 00:57:14,150 --> 00:57:12,799 data and information um 1480 00:57:16,069 --> 00:57:14,160 but 1481 00:57:17,990 --> 00:57:16,079 you know let's see the evidence you know 1482 00:57:19,510 --> 00:57:18,000 let's see what you come up with and then 1483 00:57:21,589 --> 00:57:19,520 hopefully you know we can take you to 1484 00:57:23,589 --> 00:57:21,599 that next stage i think 1485 00:57:26,630 --> 00:57:23,599 you know the idea of just going out on a 1486 00:57:29,829 --> 00:57:26,640 hill at midnight you know as people used 1487 00:57:31,910 --> 00:57:29,839 to do you know decades ago 1488 00:57:33,990 --> 00:57:31,920 hoping ufos are going to come down 1489 00:57:35,109 --> 00:57:34,000 that i don't think you know sort of 1490 00:57:37,750 --> 00:57:35,119 really 1491 00:57:39,589 --> 00:57:37,760 cuts it for me um i think we just need 1492 00:57:41,510 --> 00:57:39,599 to be sort of more 1493 00:57:44,069 --> 00:57:41,520 proactive 1494 00:57:46,470 --> 00:57:44,079 in finding new ways to sort of solve the 1495 00:57:48,470 --> 00:57:46,480 mystery because the old ways have only 1496 00:57:51,030 --> 00:57:48,480 took us so far really 1497 00:57:53,829 --> 00:57:51,040 i know it's uh like you just mentioned 1498 00:57:54,549 --> 00:57:53,839 70 years later here we are and um there 1499 00:57:56,870 --> 00:57:54,559 were 1500 00:57:58,150 --> 00:57:56,880 people that wrote books 1501 00:58:00,390 --> 00:57:58,160 that um 1502 00:58:01,829 --> 00:58:00,400 back in the 1950s they were saying you 1503 00:58:03,589 --> 00:58:01,839 know i just hope this is solved in my 1504 00:58:05,990 --> 00:58:03,599 lifetime they're long gone 1505 00:58:09,190 --> 00:58:06,000 you know and uh i think you know that 1506 00:58:11,349 --> 00:58:09,200 that chant is still ongoing um in the 1507 00:58:12,789 --> 00:58:11,359 youtube message board 1508 00:58:14,630 --> 00:58:12,799 the guy wanted 1509 00:58:18,230 --> 00:58:14,640 you to know that he's not a bloody 1510 00:58:19,670 --> 00:58:18,240 englishman with a big smiley face um 1511 00:58:21,589 --> 00:58:19,680 and uh well he did 1512 00:58:23,589 --> 00:58:21,599 rubbish yes he did 1513 00:58:25,030 --> 00:58:23,599 and uh he wanted to know how about if we 1514 00:58:27,270 --> 00:58:25,040 find life 1515 00:58:30,150 --> 00:58:27,280 in a faraway galaxy 1516 00:58:31,670 --> 00:58:30,160 uh would that change any of uh any of 1517 00:58:32,789 --> 00:58:31,680 your views or would that do you think 1518 00:58:35,109 --> 00:58:32,799 that would change 1519 00:58:37,670 --> 00:58:35,119 uh views in general about us being 1520 00:58:39,670 --> 00:58:37,680 visited by extraterrestrial 1521 00:58:40,950 --> 00:58:39,680 so what was the first part you said i 1522 00:58:42,870 --> 00:58:40,960 missed a bit about just before the 1523 00:58:44,309 --> 00:58:42,880 galaxy what did you say uh what what 1524 00:58:46,710 --> 00:58:44,319 happens if uh 1525 00:58:48,390 --> 00:58:46,720 what would your view be if i can't find 1526 00:58:51,109 --> 00:58:48,400 it right now but what would your view be 1527 00:58:53,030 --> 00:58:51,119 if they've uh life was found in distant 1528 00:58:55,270 --> 00:58:53,040 galaxies 1529 00:58:57,270 --> 00:58:55,280 you know like we confirmed confirmed 1530 00:58:59,430 --> 00:58:57,280 life found 1531 00:59:01,829 --> 00:58:59,440 well if we confirmed that life existed 1532 00:59:04,069 --> 00:59:01,839 on other worlds that would have a major 1533 00:59:05,030 --> 00:59:04,079 positive bearing on the ufo phenomenon 1534 00:59:06,230 --> 00:59:05,040 because 1535 00:59:08,950 --> 00:59:06,240 you know one of the things that the 1536 00:59:10,870 --> 00:59:08,960 skeptics say or the septics as i like to 1537 00:59:14,390 --> 00:59:10,880 call them um one of the things the 1538 00:59:16,309 --> 00:59:14,400 skeptics say is that you know ufos can't 1539 00:59:17,910 --> 00:59:16,319 exist or don't exist or we don't have 1540 00:59:21,670 --> 00:59:17,920 evidence of it because there's no 1541 00:59:24,230 --> 00:59:21,680 evidence yet of alien life so 1542 00:59:26,390 --> 00:59:24,240 even if alien life was detected on 1543 00:59:29,190 --> 00:59:26,400 another world you know through say like 1544 00:59:31,670 --> 00:59:29,200 radio transmissions that kind of thing 1545 00:59:32,710 --> 00:59:31,680 although it wouldn't necessarily prove 1546 00:59:34,950 --> 00:59:32,720 that 1547 00:59:36,549 --> 00:59:34,960 those same aliens were visiting the 1548 00:59:38,150 --> 00:59:36,559 earth in ufos 1549 00:59:41,910 --> 00:59:38,160 it would definitely 1550 00:59:42,870 --> 00:59:41,920 improve the position of ufology within 1551 00:59:44,829 --> 00:59:42,880 you know 1552 00:59:46,710 --> 00:59:44,839 the public's mindset and the media's 1553 00:59:48,950 --> 00:59:46,720 mindset um 1554 00:59:51,349 --> 00:59:48,960 so i think you know one of these people 1555 00:59:52,710 --> 00:59:51,359 who doesn't think that the whole seti 1556 00:59:54,470 --> 00:59:52,720 surgery 1557 00:59:56,950 --> 00:59:54,480 extraterrestrial intelligence and one of 1558 00:59:58,470 --> 00:59:56,960 the people who in ufology who doesn't 1559 01:00:01,510 --> 00:59:58,480 think it's a waste of time a lot of 1560 01:00:03,990 --> 01:00:01,520 people do but my view is if seti 1561 01:00:05,109 --> 01:00:04,000 did uncover legitimate signals 1562 01:00:11,750 --> 01:00:05,119 it would 1563 01:00:14,630 --> 01:00:11,760 and also uh credibility so yeah i'm all 1564 01:00:17,589 --> 01:00:14,640 for looking for evidence of 1565 01:00:20,630 --> 01:00:17,599 alien life beyond just alien life that 1566 01:00:22,870 --> 01:00:20,640 might be piloting ufos 1567 01:00:24,789 --> 01:00:22,880 i think we're going i think that part is 1568 01:00:27,510 --> 01:00:24,799 going to be solved you know i'd like to 1569 01:00:30,309 --> 01:00:27,520 say in my lifetime uh it just seems like 1570 01:00:32,630 --> 01:00:30,319 we get closer and closer and i think 1571 01:00:34,390 --> 01:00:32,640 it seems like almost any year now 1572 01:00:36,630 --> 01:00:34,400 that we're going to get evidence of 1573 01:00:37,750 --> 01:00:36,640 extraterrestrial life some somewhere 1574 01:00:41,109 --> 01:00:37,760 somehow 1575 01:00:44,710 --> 01:00:41,119 and uh in the message board 1576 01:00:48,710 --> 01:00:47,270 uh i think he there's a typo there i 1577 01:00:49,990 --> 01:00:48,720 think have you 1578 01:00:52,390 --> 01:00:50,000 looked into 1579 01:00:54,309 --> 01:00:52,400 um a book 1580 01:00:57,270 --> 01:00:54,319 uh dedicated to the many 1581 01:01:00,470 --> 01:00:57,280 in many of uh the cases of 1582 01:01:02,390 --> 01:01:00,480 planes snatched from the skyline 1583 01:01:04,789 --> 01:01:02,400 like uh you know in australia and stuff 1584 01:01:06,950 --> 01:01:04,799 like that 1585 01:01:08,950 --> 01:01:06,960 um is there enough 1586 01:01:12,230 --> 01:01:08,960 i've written a little bit about that but 1587 01:01:15,430 --> 01:01:12,240 um one guy who wrote a lot about this is 1588 01:01:17,190 --> 01:01:15,440 um frank pecino um i forget what his 1589 01:01:20,150 --> 01:01:17,200 book was called now but he wrote one on 1590 01:01:21,910 --> 01:01:20,160 the flatwoods monster of 1952 and he 1591 01:01:22,870 --> 01:01:21,920 wrote a follow-up 1592 01:01:24,710 --> 01:01:22,880 book 1593 01:01:25,430 --> 01:01:24,720 which actually sort of chronicled a lot 1594 01:01:32,470 --> 01:01:25,440 of 1595 01:01:34,950 --> 01:01:32,480 crashing while chasing ufos and some 1596 01:01:36,069 --> 01:01:34,960 which just completely vanished 1597 01:01:38,390 --> 01:01:36,079 um 1598 01:01:41,270 --> 01:01:38,400 so you know frank did a really good sort 1599 01:01:44,630 --> 01:01:41,280 of definitive book on that subject 1600 01:01:46,630 --> 01:01:44,640 um so you know i recommend people read 1601 01:01:48,789 --> 01:01:46,640 that book uh as i said he's frank 1602 01:01:50,549 --> 01:01:48,799 fischino but i forget the title of his 1603 01:01:53,589 --> 01:01:50,559 book now other than the flatwoods 1604 01:01:55,910 --> 01:01:53,599 monster one um but yeah i mean 1605 01:01:57,829 --> 01:01:55,920 that's like a you know a perfect book to 1606 01:01:59,349 --> 01:01:57,839 to dig into if you want to find out 1607 01:02:01,670 --> 01:01:59,359 about um 1608 01:02:04,069 --> 01:02:01,680 missing aircraft crash death craft in 1609 01:02:06,789 --> 01:02:04,079 relation to ufos sort of ufo aircraft 1610 01:02:08,789 --> 01:02:06,799 dog fights that kind of thing 1611 01:02:11,589 --> 01:02:08,799 i'm having a uh 1612 01:02:13,910 --> 01:02:11,599 um i've lost his name right now leo i 1613 01:02:16,230 --> 01:02:13,920 want to say from uh

pilot cases 1617 01:02:24,549 --> 01:02:22,640 that's coming up on february 8th i 1618 01:02:26,710 --> 01:02:24,559 believe it is um let's see another 1619 01:02:28,950 --> 01:02:26,720 question here with the modern era of 1620 01:02:32,230 --> 01:02:28,960 ufology starting in the 1940s what's 1621 01:02:35,349 --> 01:02:32,240 your opinion on why ets are still 1622 01:02:36,870 --> 01:02:35,359 interested in visiting us 1623 01:02:39,510 --> 01:02:36,880 uh but you've kind of mentioned earlier 1624 01:02:41,510 --> 01:02:39,520 you're not really sure what they are 1625 01:02:43,589 --> 01:02:41,520 well no i'm not you know but whatever 1626 01:02:45,190 --> 01:02:43,599 the phenomenon is it's still definitely 1627 01:02:46,470 --> 01:02:45,200 here and with us 1628 01:02:48,630 --> 01:02:46,480 um 1629 01:02:50,230 --> 01:02:48,640 maybe it's like maybe the equivalent of 1630 01:02:52,230 --> 01:02:50,240 like going to the circus and watching 1631 01:02:54,309 --> 01:02:52,240 these crazy 1632 01:02:55,990 --> 01:02:54,319 people you know do crazy things i don't 1633 01:02:58,470 --> 01:02:56,000 know um 1634 01:03:01,589 --> 01:02:58,480 what i would say for sure is that you 1635 01:03:04,230 --> 01:03:01,599 know we clearly haven't been 1636 01:03:06,230 --> 01:03:04,240 um but then again you know 1637 01:03:08,069 --> 01:03:06,240 i don't see a great deal that's been 1638 01:03:10,549 --> 01:03:08,079 done to help us unless it's been done in 1639 01:03:12,870 --> 01:03:10,559 sort of an obscure behind-the-scenes way 1640 01:03:13,990 --> 01:03:12,880 which is not impossible at all 1641 01:03:28,069 --> 01:03:14,000 um 1642 01:03:30,150 --> 01:03:28,079 have they been helped 1643 01:03:31,750 --> 01:03:30,160 you know by extraterrestrials to sort of 1644 01:03:34,390 --> 01:03:31,760 fix those things 1645 01:03:36,630 --> 01:03:34,400 i i don't see evidence of it so i kind 1646 01:03:38,309 --> 01:03:36,640 of view the ufo phenomenon as one that 1647 01:03:40,950 --> 01:03:38,319 interacts with us 1648 01:03:43,670 --> 01:03:40,960 closely at times and very intimately at 1649 01:03:45,109 --> 01:03:43,680 times but it also it's sort of careful 1650 01:03:46,069 --> 01:03:45,119 to 1651 01:03:48,069 --> 01:03:46,079 keep 1652 01:03:49,270 --> 01:03:48,079 in the shadows as well 1653 01:03:53,270 --> 01:03:49,280 now 1654 01:03:55,750 --> 01:03:53,280 sort of forced to 1655 01:03:56,549 --> 01:03:55,760 interp what interpret what that means 1656 01:03:58,789 --> 01:03:56,559 from 1657 01:04:01,109 --> 01:03:58,799 the perspective of a human mind how we 1658 01:04:04,309 --> 01:04:01,119 rationalize and think about these things 1659 01:04:06,069 --> 01:04:04,319 you know maybe they have goals and 1660 01:04:08,710 --> 01:04:06,079 agendas which 1661 01:04:09,750 --> 01:04:08,720 we don't even really understand properly 1662 01:04:11,829 --> 01:04:09,760 um 1663 01:04:13,510 --> 01:04:11,839 you know in the same way that's 1664 01:04:15,109 --> 01:04:13,520 you know if you've got like a pet dog 1665 01:04:17,190 --> 01:04:15,119 dogs are really intelligence and you 1666 01:04:20,230 --> 01:04:17,200 know they know hundreds of words you can 1667 01:04:21,910 --> 01:04:20,240 teach them um but there are some things 1668 01:04:22,710 --> 01:04:21,920 you'll never be able to get across to 1669 01:04:25,029 --> 01:04:22,720 them 1670 01:04:27,270 --> 01:04:25,039 um it doesn't mean your dog's stupid it 1671 01:04:30,390 --> 01:04:27,280 isn't it's the exact opposite but there 1672 01:04:31,349 --> 01:04:30,400 is a limit on what it can understand 1673 01:04:32,630 --> 01:04:31,359 and 1674 01:04:33,910 --> 01:04:32,640 interpret 1675 01:04:35,910 --> 01:04:33,920 um 1676 01:04:37,670 --> 01:04:35,920 you know the dog knows 1677 01:04:38,789 --> 01:04:37,680 when you go to work in the morning you 1678 01:04:41,510 --> 01:04:38,799 know that you're going to come back 1679 01:04:44,390 --> 01:04:41,520 later but it has no concept of where you 1680 01:04:45,990 --> 01:04:44,400 go or why and maybe that's kind of like 1681 01:04:48,789 --> 01:04:46,000 with us we just 1682 01:04:51,510 --> 01:04:48,799 we're not in in a mindset that has an 1683 01:04:53,029 --> 01:04:51,520 understanding of what they do and why we 1684 01:04:55,349 --> 01:04:53,039 can only sort of apply it from our 1685 01:04:56,789 --> 01:04:55,359 perspective which might be 1686 01:04:59,750 --> 01:04:56,799 totally 1687 01:05:02,230 --> 01:04:59,760 ironically alien you know to them ah 1688 01:05:03,589 --> 01:05:02,240 yeah really good point there um 1689 01:05:04,710 --> 01:05:03,599 there was someone on the message board 1690 01:05:06,870 --> 01:05:04,720 that 1691 01:05:09,349 --> 01:05:06,880 uh noted the book you were trying to 1692 01:05:10,549 --> 01:05:09,359 remember was called shoot them down 1693 01:05:12,470 --> 01:05:10,559 by uh friends 1694 01:05:14,950 --> 01:05:12,480 frank fischino he's been on the show 1695 01:05:17,510 --> 01:05:14,960 before he's a good guy um 1696 01:05:18,549 --> 01:05:17,520 and someone wants to know who is your 1697 01:05:21,349 --> 01:05:18,559 favorite 1698 01:05:22,549 --> 01:05:21,359 author for uh books in the field ufo 1699 01:05:25,829 --> 01:05:22,559 field 1700 01:05:27,910 --> 01:05:26,789 um 1701 01:05:29,829 --> 01:05:27,920 well 1702 01:05:32,069 --> 01:05:29,839 i would have to sort of lump ufo with 1703 01:05:35,829 --> 01:05:32,079 the paranormal because i would say john 1704 01:05:38,390 --> 01:05:35,839 kale um you know john kale was the when 1705 01:05:40,230 --> 01:05:38,400 i was like a kid like i said 10 11 12 1706 01:05:43,270 --> 01:05:40,240 something like that i started reading 1707 01:05:45,589 --> 01:05:43,280 books by john kale and brad steiger 1708 01:05:48,870 --> 01:05:45,599 frank edwards um this would have been 1709 01:05:51,430 --> 01:05:48,880 sort of late 70s and 1710 01:05:53,829 --> 01:05:51,440 that got me interested in the subject 1711 01:05:55,349 --> 01:05:53,839 and i like kale stuff for a couple of 1712 01:05:57,029 --> 01:05:55,359 reasons one 1713 01:05:58,069 --> 01:05:57,039 you know his writing wasn't sort of 1714 01:06:01,109 --> 01:05:58,079 bland 1715 01:06:03,109 --> 01:06:01,119 it wasn't sort of mr jones saw a ufo it 1716 01:06:06,390 --> 01:06:03,119 was silver you know 1717 01:06:07,750 --> 01:06:06,400 he wrote in a really atmospheric way and 1718 01:06:09,670 --> 01:06:07,760 i like that i think you know if you're 1719 01:06:11,829 --> 01:06:09,680 going to tell a story 1720 01:06:13,670 --> 01:06:11,839 um it's not enough just to sort of 1721 01:06:14,789 --> 01:06:13,680 relate the fact you've got to make it 1722 01:06:16,789 --> 01:06:14,799 readable 1723 01:06:19,270 --> 01:06:16,799 and eye-catching hopefully for the 1724 01:06:20,710 --> 01:06:19,280 reader um so i like that but i also like 1725 01:06:22,470 --> 01:06:20,720 the fact that keele 1726 01:06:24,789 --> 01:06:22,480 didn't really care 1727 01:06:25,829 --> 01:06:24,799 what his peers thought of him and i kind 1728 01:06:27,670 --> 01:06:25,839 of go 1729 01:06:30,390 --> 01:06:27,680 you know that approach as well i do what 1730 01:06:32,230 --> 01:06:30,400 i do i write what i write and if people 1731 01:06:33,829 --> 01:06:32,240 like it that's fine and if they don't 1732 01:06:36,630 --> 01:06:33,839 well that's how it goes you know i'm not 1733 01:06:39,910 --> 01:06:36,640 going to lose sleep over it and keel 1734 01:06:41,829 --> 01:06:39,920 very bravely in the 60s and 70s when you 1735 01:06:44,309 --> 01:06:41,839 know the whole nuts and bolts angle was 1736 01:06:47,109 --> 01:06:44,319 the dominating one in ufology you know 1737 01:06:49,430 --> 01:06:47,119 you had people like donald kehoe 1738 01:06:51,750 --> 01:06:49,440 uh leonard stringfield 1739 01:06:54,870 --> 01:06:51,760 um you know all the people who were sort 1740 01:06:57,349 --> 01:06:54,880 of at the the forefront knight cap you 1741 01:07:00,309 --> 01:06:57,359 know at the forefront of um 1742 01:07:01,670 --> 01:07:00,319 promoting the et theory you know keel 1743 01:07:05,750 --> 01:07:01,680 was making 1744 01:07:08,710 --> 01:07:05,760 um sort of parallels between ufology 1745 01:07:11,510 --> 01:07:08,720 and um the supernatural and the occult 1746 01:07:13,430 --> 01:07:11,520 even demonology and things like that and 1747 01:07:14,390 --> 01:07:13,440 he was kind of a bit of a maverick and 1748 01:07:16,150 --> 01:07:14,400 um 1749 01:07:19,190 --> 01:07:16,160 so you know those are the reasons why i 1750 01:07:20,630 --> 01:07:19,200 like kiel's books because he really 1751 01:07:23,109 --> 01:07:20,640 he didn't just go with the flow for the 1752 01:07:24,950 --> 01:07:23,119 sake of it he actually asked the awkward 1753 01:07:26,630 --> 01:07:24,960 questions that a lot of researchers 1754 01:07:28,710 --> 01:07:26,640 didn't want to touch because he took 1755 01:07:31,029 --> 01:07:28,720 them out of their 1756 01:07:32,789 --> 01:07:31,039 straightforward belief system of nuts 1757 01:07:34,069 --> 01:07:32,799 and bolts aliens and they just didn't 1758 01:07:37,190 --> 01:07:34,079 want to deal 1759 01:07:38,870 --> 01:07:37,200 with these sort of rogue cases that kale 1760 01:07:40,309 --> 01:07:38,880 really sort of you know got his teeth 1761 01:07:42,069 --> 01:07:40,319 into 1762 01:07:44,230 --> 01:07:42,079 right right another question out of all 1763 01:07:49,109 --> 01:07:44,240 the books that you have authored what's 1764 01:07:56,150 --> 01:07:51,190 um 1765 01:07:59,750 --> 01:07:56,160 let's say it's probably a book i wrote 1766 01:08:01,589 --> 01:07:59,760 in um 2012 called wild man and it was 1767 01:08:03,910 --> 01:08:01,599 all about the very little known 1768 01:08:05,829 --> 01:08:03,920 phenomenon of bigfoot and bigfoot type 1769 01:08:07,589 --> 01:08:05,839 creatures in the uk 1770 01:08:10,630 --> 01:08:07,599 um a lot of these reports like the 1771 01:08:13,750 --> 01:08:10,640 mountains and forests of um scotland 1772 01:08:15,349 --> 01:08:13,760 and wales and and also a number from the 1773 01:08:18,070 --> 01:08:15,359 from england as well 1774 01:08:20,870 --> 01:08:18,080 um and i was sort of pleased to be able 1775 01:08:23,349 --> 01:08:20,880 to do that book because um it's a 1776 01:08:26,630 --> 01:08:23,359 subject i've had a long interest in for 1777 01:08:29,189 --> 01:08:26,640 years and finally in 2012 i was able to 1778 01:08:30,870 --> 01:08:29,199 get around and write a full-length book 1779 01:08:32,870 --> 01:08:30,880 on the subject so 1780 01:08:34,229 --> 01:08:32,880 i would say that one because 1781 01:08:35,669 --> 01:08:34,239 um 1782 01:08:38,070 --> 01:08:35,679 because it was the one i always wanted 1783 01:08:40,870 --> 01:08:38,080 to do and finally uh got around to it 1784 01:08:42,149 --> 01:08:40,880 uh-huh i know when we very first spoke i 1785 01:08:45,829 --> 01:08:42,159 think the first time i had you on this 1786 01:08:47,829 --> 01:08:45,839 show you were saying uh the crypto uh 1787 01:08:51,030 --> 01:08:47,839 field is the one you're most interested 1788 01:08:55,590 --> 01:08:51,040 in are you um if that's true today are 1789 01:08:57,430 --> 01:08:55,600 you uh writing anything on that soon 1790 01:08:59,349 --> 01:08:57,440 yeah i actually had a book come out just 1791 01:09:00,630 --> 01:08:59,359 a couple of months ago on the loch ness 1792 01:09:02,470 --> 01:09:00,640 monster 1793 01:09:03,749 --> 01:09:02,480 which looks like a different approach 1794 01:09:04,630 --> 01:09:03,759 and looked at all the really sort of 1795 01:09:06,870 --> 01:09:04,640 weird 1796 01:09:10,070 --> 01:09:06,880 supernatural stuff surrounding the story 1797 01:09:11,990 --> 01:09:10,080 of the loch ness monster or monsters um 1798 01:09:14,309 --> 01:09:12,000 for example there have been a lot of ufo 1799 01:09:16,709 --> 01:09:14,319 sightings over loch ness there have been 1800 01:09:19,510 --> 01:09:16,719 men in black reports 1801 01:09:21,269 --> 01:09:19,520 the famous occultist alistair crowley 1802 01:09:23,749 --> 01:09:21,279 had a house at loch ness called 1803 01:09:26,309 --> 01:09:23,759 burlesque in house where he tried to uh 1804 01:09:28,630 --> 01:09:26,319 summon up supernatural entities that 1805 01:09:30,630 --> 01:09:28,640 some people believe sort of opened a 1806 01:09:32,309 --> 01:09:30,640 door to allow these 1807 01:09:34,630 --> 01:09:32,319 monsters through in other words that 1808 01:09:36,789 --> 01:09:34,640 they're not sort of just surviving 1809 01:09:38,789 --> 01:09:36,799 relics from you know the jurassic era or 1810 01:09:41,430 --> 01:09:38,799 whatever but as something 1811 01:09:44,470 --> 01:09:41,440 much stranger um so that was a theme of 1812 01:09:47,590 --> 01:09:44,480 that one but uh yeah cryptozoology is my 1813 01:09:49,669 --> 01:09:47,600 main interest ufo's being next 1814 01:09:51,910 --> 01:09:49,679 mainly for a couple of reasons you know 1815 01:09:54,470 -->

a triple cabra i know it's it's so 1834 01:10:42,229 --> 01:10:38,400 interesting when you really think about 1835 01:10:44,470 --> 01:10:42,239 it the ufos the anything paranormal 1836 01:10:46,550 --> 01:10:44,480 ghosts 1837 01:10:49,030 --> 01:10:46,560 cryptology any of the 1838 01:10:50,229 --> 01:10:49,040 so-called the bigfoot yeti and all that 1839 01:10:52,950 --> 01:10:50,239 uh no 1840 01:10:54,870 --> 01:10:52,960 hard evidence now i know dr melva 1841 01:10:56,830 --> 01:10:54,880 ketchum who i've actually spoke with 1842 01:10:59,430 --> 01:10:56,840 very nice lady 1843 01:11:02,310 --> 01:10:59,440 um claims she has the closest thing to 1844 01:11:04,709 --> 01:11:02,320 evidence and that is uh uh dna that 1845 01:11:07,110 --> 01:11:04,719 can't be explained basically 1846 01:11:08,550 --> 01:11:07,120 but there's just no hard 1847 01:11:10,470 --> 01:11:08,560 evidence 1848 01:11:12,790 --> 01:11:10,480 i'm not sure 1849 01:11:15,430 --> 01:11:12,800 what i think about that in particular 1850 01:11:17,590 --> 01:11:15,440 but um well you know i mean one of the 1851 01:11:20,470 --> 01:11:17,600 theories and it's one of the ones i kind 1852 01:11:22,229 --> 01:11:20,480 of go with is i actually don't think 1853 01:11:24,870 --> 01:11:22,239 that a lot of these so-called cryptids 1854 01:11:27,430 --> 01:11:24,880 as they're known like bigfoot the yeti 1855 01:11:30,070 --> 01:11:27,440 loch ness monster the chubber camera i'm 1856 01:11:32,310 --> 01:11:30,080 not entirely sure that they're just what 1857 01:11:34,229 --> 01:11:32,320 we would call unknown animals there's a 1858 01:11:36,070 --> 01:11:34,239 lot of very weird stuff 1859 01:11:38,149 --> 01:11:36,080 in relation to bigfoot where people have 1860 01:11:39,750 --> 01:11:38,159 seen these creatures and supposedly 1861 01:11:41,910 --> 01:11:39,760 they've sort of vanished in a flash of 1862 01:11:44,709 --> 01:11:41,920 light or they've just sort of in an 1863 01:11:46,950 --> 01:11:44,719 instant winked out of existence um 1864 01:11:48,470 --> 01:11:46,960 the reports are people seeing bigfoot in 1865 01:11:50,870 --> 01:11:48,480 the woods and it's surrounded by like 1866 01:11:52,870 --> 01:11:50,880 these small glit glittering balls of 1867 01:11:55,189 --> 01:11:52,880 light like almost like a some sort of 1868 01:11:56,630 --> 01:11:55,199 weird energy as i said there's a lot of 1869 01:12:00,229 --> 01:11:56,640 strange stuff 1870 01:12:01,910 --> 01:12:00,239 um with ufo activity excuse me um we 1871 01:12:02,950 --> 01:12:01,920 could put paranormal activity at loch 1872 01:12:04,790 --> 01:12:02,960 ness 1873 01:12:07,030 --> 01:12:04,800 you know that goes far beyond just the 1874 01:12:09,510 --> 01:12:07,040 reports of the loch ness monster 1875 01:12:12,310 --> 01:12:09,520 um and that's the same with you know a 1876 01:12:14,229 --> 01:12:12,320 number of lake monster stories in the us 1877 01:12:15,910 --> 01:12:14,239 um people have tried to photograph these 1878 01:12:17,750 --> 01:12:15,920 things and the cameras have jammed or 1879 01:12:19,510 --> 01:12:17,760 the pictures have come out fogged and 1880 01:12:22,550 --> 01:12:19,520 this has happened on far more than just 1881 01:12:24,709 --> 01:12:22,560 a couple of random occasions so 1882 01:12:26,390 --> 01:12:24,719 i think we could be dealing with as as 1883 01:12:29,110 --> 01:12:26,400 john keel felt 1884 01:12:31,590 --> 01:12:29,120 that these animals the reason we don't 1885 01:12:34,630 --> 01:12:31,600 catch them the why the reason why 1886 01:12:36,229 --> 01:12:34,640 it's so they're so elusive and why 1887 01:12:38,229 --> 01:12:36,239 bigfoot you know which is like this 1888 01:12:42,070 --> 01:12:38,239 seven to eight foot tall ape 1889 01:12:43,910 --> 01:12:42,080 in a country so densely packed and um as 1890 01:12:44,790 --> 01:12:43,920 the united states we can't even catch 1891 01:12:47,430 --> 01:12:44,800 one 1892 01:12:49,830 --> 01:12:47,440 you know which sounds totally unlikely 1893 01:12:52,870 --> 01:12:49,840 it may be because as john cale felt that 1894 01:12:55,270 --> 01:12:52,880 they're actually only temporarily in our 1895 01:12:57,830 --> 01:12:55,280 reality maybe they sort of flit in and 1896 01:13:00,310 --> 01:12:57,840 out of other realities um 1897 01:13:01,990 --> 01:13:00,320 and you know they're just temporary 1898 01:13:03,910 --> 01:13:02,000 visitors and then 1899 01:13:06,149 --> 01:13:03,920 you know that's the reason we may not 1900 01:13:08,790 --> 01:13:06,159 catch them because for the most part 1901 01:13:09,510 --> 01:13:08,800 they're not here and now of course a lot 1902 01:13:11,830 --> 01:13:09,520 of 1903 01:13:13,990 --> 01:13:11,840 regular cryptozoologists 1904 01:13:16,149 --> 01:13:14,000 they sort of really you know shake their 1905 01:13:17,189 --> 01:13:16,159 heads and roll their eyes when you start 1906 01:13:19,550 --> 01:13:17,199 bringing 1907 01:13:22,310 --> 01:13:19,560 the paranormal and multi-dimensions into 1908 01:13:25,270 --> 01:13:22,320 cryptozoology but you know i always tell 1909 01:13:28,070 --> 01:13:25,280 people that the most important people 1910 01:13:30,149 --> 01:13:28,080 in these fields and everything i do it's 1911 01:13:31,590 --> 01:13:30,159 not the authors or the tv host or 1912 01:13:33,110 --> 01:13:31,600 whatever it's the witnesses because 1913 01:13:35,510 --> 01:13:33,120 without the witnesses 1914 01:13:37,990 --> 01:13:35,520 we don't have anything and the fact is 1915 01:13:40,070 --> 01:13:38,000 there are a lot of witness reports of 1916 01:13:42,390 --> 01:13:40,080 a lot of really weird stuff in relation 1917 01:13:44,709 --> 01:13:42,400 to bigfoot and you know for certain 1918 01:13:47,590 --> 01:13:44,719 researchers to ignore those reports 1919 01:13:48,630 --> 01:13:47,600 because they don't fit in well with 1920 01:13:51,110 --> 01:13:48,640 their 1921 01:13:53,189 --> 01:13:51,120 theories they're they're basically self 1922 01:13:56,390 --> 01:13:53,199 censoring themselves you know instead of 1923 01:13:57,910 --> 01:13:56,400 being completely open minded 1924 01:14:00,390 --> 01:13:57,920 someone on the message board wanted to 1925 01:14:01,830 --> 01:14:00,400 know what you thought about lloyd pie's 1926 01:14:05,270 --> 01:14:01,840 theory on the connection between 1927 01:14:06,630 --> 01:14:05,280 neanderthal and sasquatch 1928 01:14:08,709 --> 01:14:06,640 are you familiar with 1929 01:14:10,149 --> 01:14:08,719 his theory on that 1930 01:14:11,990 --> 01:14:10,159 well 1931 01:14:15,189 --> 01:14:12,000 i mean it's an interesting theory but 1932 01:14:18,149 --> 01:14:15,199 the the the one problem i have with it 1933 01:14:20,870 --> 01:14:18,159 is that you know neanderthal man was a 1934 01:14:23,350 --> 01:14:20,880 was a type of man you know they they 1935 01:14:27,110 --> 01:14:23,360 looked obviously you know significantly 1936 01:14:28,709 --> 01:14:27,120 different to us um but they looked like 1937 01:14:31,750 --> 01:14:28,719 a primitive human 1938 01:14:33,830 --> 01:14:31,760 whereas bigfoot is almost 1939 01:14:34,709 --> 01:14:33,840 exclusively described as looking far 1940 01:14:37,510 --> 01:14:34,719 more 1941 01:14:39,910 --> 01:14:37,520 ape-like you know and so 1942 01:14:42,149 --> 01:14:39,920 unless an argument could be made that 1943 01:14:44,630 --> 01:14:42,159 over you know thousands of thousands of 1944 01:14:46,070 --> 01:14:44,640 years if they'd survived extinction 1945 01:14:48,070 --> 01:14:46,080 they um 1946 01:14:50,149 --> 01:14:48,080 you know they might have evolved more 1947 01:14:52,390 --> 01:14:50,159 i'm not sure that's a valid case you 1948 01:14:54,070 --> 01:14:52,400 know in saying that you know you look at 1949 01:14:55,590 --> 01:14:54,080 bigfoot in the united states it does 1950 01:14:56,390 --> 01:14:55,600 look more ape-like 1951 01:15:03,270 --> 01:14:56,400 now 1952 01:15:04,630 --> 01:15:03,280 far reaches of russia um the ukraine 1953 01:15:06,630 --> 01:15:04,640 siberia 1954 01:15:08,149 --> 01:15:06,640 you do get a lot of reports of the 1955 01:15:12,070 --> 01:15:08,159 russian equivalent which is known as the 1956 01:15:14,630 --> 01:15:12,080 al-masti now at least a fair 1957 01:15:16,550 --> 01:15:14,640 significant number of those reports 1958 01:15:18,950 --> 01:15:16,560 do seem to involve creatures that are 1959 01:15:19,830 --> 01:15:18,960 more like a primitive human 1960 01:15:22,070 --> 01:15:19,840 um 1961 01:15:24,950 --> 01:15:22,080 but they're very often distinctly 1962 01:15:27,510 --> 01:15:24,960 different to the american bigfoot now in 1963 01:15:29,430 --> 01:15:27,520 china they have the yeren which is even 1964 01:15:33,270 --> 01:15:29,440 more ape-like 1965 01:15:36,550 --> 01:15:33,280 so i don't personally think bigfoot 1966 01:15:38,390 --> 01:15:36,560 and neanderthals are one of the same but 1967 01:15:40,870 --> 01:15:38,400 i don't think it's out of the question 1968 01:15:42,390 --> 01:15:40,880 that some of these more primitive 1969 01:15:45,030 --> 01:15:42,400 human-looking ones in the world of 1970 01:15:47,189 --> 01:15:45,040 russia they could actually be 1971 01:15:49,830 --> 01:15:47,199 relic populations of neanderthals or 1972 01:15:51,990 --> 01:15:49,840 crow magnets um 1973 01:15:53,910 --> 01:15:52,000 so you know there could actually be more 1974 01:15:55,910 --> 01:15:53,920 than one answer to whatever these sort 1975 01:15:58,070 --> 01:15:55,920 of hairy humanoid creatures are it 1976 01:15:59,910 --> 01:15:58,080 doesn't necessarily all have to be 1977 01:16:01,590 --> 01:15:59,920 bigfoot winking out of existence some 1978 01:16:04,390 --> 01:16:01,600 could actually be just 1979 01:16:06,870 --> 01:16:04,400 pockets of primitive humans that against 1980 01:16:10,790 --> 01:16:06,880 all the odds have survived you know 1981 01:16:13,189 --> 01:16:10,800 wow yeah interesting back to uh ufos um 1982 01:16:14,390 --> 01:16:13,199 another question in the forum here 1983 01:16:16,550 --> 01:16:14,400 someone want to know have you come 1984 01:16:17,669 --> 01:16:16,560 across any ufo cases that seem to have 1985 01:16:21,030 --> 01:16:17,679 the ability 1986 01:16:23,030 --> 01:16:21,040 to temporarily camouflage themselves 1987 01:16:24,870 --> 01:16:23,040 as to look more like the conventional 1988 01:16:27,270 --> 01:16:24,880 aircraft 1989 01:16:29,350 --> 01:16:27,280 i haven't heard that myself 1990 01:16:32,709 --> 01:16:29,360 well i haven't heard it with aircraft 1991 01:16:34,550 --> 01:16:32,719 but i actually have um 1992 01:16:37,590 --> 01:16:34,560 well quite a few reports and i think 1993 01:16:41,030 --> 01:16:37,600 there's a couple in the 365 days where 1994 01:16:42,790 --> 01:16:41,040 people have seen ufos transform into 1995 01:16:44,790 --> 01:16:42,800 what we call like black helicopters and 1996 01:16:47,669 --> 01:16:44,800 also vice versa the black helicopters 1997 01:16:49,350 --> 01:16:47,679 have transformed into ufos now 1998 01:16:51,350 --> 01:16:49,360 you know if you look up ufos and black 1999 01:16:52,310 --> 01:16:51,360 helicopters you'll find a ton of stories 2000 01:16:54,709 --> 01:16:52,320 where 2001 01:16:58,149 --> 01:16:54,719 these black helicopters and unmarked 2002 01:17:00,709 --> 01:16:58,159 helicopters often turn up in abduction 2003 01:17:02,550 --> 01:17:00,719 cases you know someone's abducted and 2004 01:17:05,110 --> 01:17:02,560 then the next night there's this black 2005 01:17:07,990 --> 01:17:05,120 helicopter hovering over the home and 2006 01:17:09,750 --> 01:17:08,000 people assume it's some sort of covert 2007 01:17:11,430 --> 01:17:09,760 arm of the military that monitors 2008 01:17:13,030 --> 01:17:11,440 abductees you know and they're the 2009 01:17:14,070 --> 01:17:13,040 monitoring this person and another 2010 01:17:16,310 --> 01:17:14,080 person 2011 01:17:18,310 --> 01:17:16,320 and they also turn up in cattle 2012 01:17:20,950 --> 01:17:18,320 mutilations where people have 2013 01:17:22,550 --> 01:17:20,960 seen animals mutilated and then 2014 01:17:24,709 --> 01:17:22,560 um 2015 01:17:27,189 --> 01:17:24,719 a helicopter's flying over but in a lot 2016 01:17:28,790 --> 01:17:27,199 of these cases the one weird factor is 2017 01:17:31,510 --> 01:17:28,800 that the helicopters 2018 01:17:33,910 --> 01:17:31,520 are flying completely silently 2019 01:17:35,830 --> 01:17:33,920 now there have been for years rumors of 2020 01:17:37,910 --> 01:17:35,840 the military having perfected silent 2021 01:17:40,070 --> 01:17:37,920 helicopters but it hasn't been 2022 01:17:42,470 --> 01:17:40,080 you know fully proved so right maybe 2023 01:17:45,110 --> 01:17:42,480 some fall into that category but there 2024 01:17:48,709 --> 01:17:45,120 are some really weird cases that kind of 2025 01:17:51,430 --> 01:17:48,719 uh fall into what you you call a um just 2026 01:17:54,310 --> 01:17:51,440 mentioned and that's in relation to how 2027 01:17:56,149 --> 01:17:54,320 people have seen these black helicopters 2028 01:17:58,550 --> 01:17:56,159 sort of suddenly shrink into a ball of 2029 01:18:01,510 --> 01:17:58,560 light which shoots off at high speed 2030 01:18:03,910 --> 01:18:01,520 or the ball of light hovers in the sky 2031 01:18:06,550 --> 01:18:03,920 and then suddenly it's replaced by a 2032 01:18:09,030 --> 01:18:06,560 black helicopter which has given rise to 2033 01:18:11,110 --> 01:18:09,040 the theory in some quarters that these 2034 01:18:13,030 --> 01:18:11,120 craft are either 2035 01:18:14,950 --> 01:18:13,040 literally physically 2036 01:18:17,510 --> 01:18:14,960 camouflaging the excuse me literally 2037 01:18:19,030 --> 01:18:17,520 physically transforming themselves or 2038 01:18:21,350 --> 01:18:19,040 more likely 2039 01:18:22,630 --> 01:18:21,360 that they are sort of projecting like a 2040 01:18:24,149 --> 01:18:22,640 holographic 2041 01:18:26,950 --> 01:18:24,159 image 2042 01:18:29,430 --> 01:18:26,960 um sort of over the top of the the 2043 01:18:31,270 --> 01:18:29,440 railcraft you know so we just see like 2044 01:18:33,990 --> 01:18:31,280 almost like the projection 2045 01:18:36,310 --> 01:18:34,000 behind which is the the real craft 2046 01:18:38,149 --> 01:18:36,320 so that that's about the closest i can 2047 01:18:40,390 --> 01:18:38,159 think of um 2048 01:18:42,790 --> 01:18:40,400 where you've got this sort of situation 2049 01:18:45,750 --> 01:18:42,800 of either they're literally changing 2050 01:18:47,669 --> 01:18:45,760 shape or they're projecting something 2051 01:18:49,030 --> 01:18:47,679 in front of the craft to make you think 2052 01:18:51,510 --> 01:18:49,040 you're seeing something that you're 2053 01:18:54,790 --> 01:18:51,520 actually not wow yeah i know they're 2054 01:18:57,510 --> 01:18:54,800 they're working on a technology of uh of 2055 01:18:59,030 --> 01:18:57,520 uh helicopter rotors that are like sound 2056 01:19:01,189 --> 01:18:59,040 cancelling 2057 01:19:04,229 --> 01:19:01,199 and um i think we will see that if it's 2058 01:19:05,830 --> 01:19:04,239 not out already but it's hard to know um 2059 01:19:07,350 --> 01:19:05,840 a lot of times we just don't know what's 2060 01:19:08,790 --> 01:19:07,360 out there 2061 01:19:10,550 --> 01:19:08,800 well the thing is you know if you look 2062 01:19:12,310 --> 01:19:10,560 back at the the stealth bomber and the 2063 01:19:14,870 --> 01:19:12,320 stealth fighter when they were unveiled 2064 01:19:16,470 --> 01:19:14,880 in the late eighties we know now that 2065 01:19:19,110 --> 01:19:16,480 the prototypes of the flight of the 2066 01:19:21,270 --> 01:19:19,120 stealth eyes were flying in 75 2067 01:19:24,229 --> 01:19:21,280 like 13 years before it was rolled out 2068 01:19:26,950 --> 01:19:24,239 of the hangar so it wouldn't surprise me 2069 01:19:28,870 --> 01:19:26,960 if there were silent helicopters now 2070 01:19:32,149 --> 01:19:28,880 which we might not be told about till 2071 01:19:33,990 --> 01:19:32,159 like i don't know 20 30 or something um 2072 01:19:36,470 --> 01:19:34,000 that happens a lot you know if things 2073 01:19:38,950 --> 01:19:36,480 are kept on the secret list because you 2074 01:19:41,830 --> 01:19:38,960 know you don't want your your enemy um 2075 01:19:44,229 --> 01:19:41,840 to find out what you've got so until you 2076 01:19:45,990 --> 01:19:44,239 actually need it in a warfare situation 2077 01:19:47,430 --> 01:19:46,000 you keep it under wraps or you fly it 2078 01:19:49,350 --> 01:19:47,440 around and see 2079 01:19:51,750 --> 01:19:49,360 you know how it how it works and whether 2080 01:19:53,669 --> 01:19:51,760 people see it or pick up on it or 2081 01:19:57,189 --> 01:19:53,679 hopefully from their perspective you 2082 01:19:59,750 --> 01:19:58,390 now 2083 01:20:01,510 --> 01:19:59,760 this uh 2084 01:20:04,149 --> 01:20:01,520 this question here it says does your 2085 01:20:05,830 --> 01:20:04,159 book mention the battle of los angeles 2086 01:20:08,390 --> 01:20:05,840 and what can you tell us about that 2087 01:20:11,030 --> 01:20:08,400 event but i also want to say that uh 2088 01:20:12,470 --> 01:20:11,040 uh i know david marlar is working on 2089 01:20:15,030 --> 01:20:12,480 that the same one 2090 01:20:15,750 --> 01:20:15,040 uh that worked on the triangles 2091 01:20:18,629 --> 01:20:15,760 so 2092 01:20:19,750 --> 01:20:18,639 he's going to do a presentation on that 2093 01:20:23,350 --> 01:20:19,760 oh cool 2094 01:20:25,590 --> 01:20:23,360 well um yeah i actually do have the um 2095 01:20:27,990 --> 01:20:25,600 the battle of los angeles in the book 2096 01:20:30,390 --> 01:20:28,000 now for people who aren't aware of it 2097 01:20:34,470 --> 01:20:30,400 you know when the second world war broke 2098 01:20:36,229 --> 01:20:34,480 out in 1939 um you know the the war was 2099 01:20:39,270 --> 01:20:36,239 going on in europe and then when pearl 2100 01:20:42,310 --> 01:20:39,280 harbor got attacked in december 41 uh 2101 01:20:43,990 --> 01:20:42,320 america entered the war now of course 2102 01:20:45,990 --> 01:20:44,000 like everywhere you know there was a 2103 01:20:48,149 --> 01:20:46,000 great deal of concern about the war and 2104 01:20:51,270 --> 01:20:48,159 what was going to happen and um you know 2105 01:20:53,430 --> 01:20:51,280 a lot of war nerves as well and um you 2106 01:20:55,510 --> 01:20:53,440 know people looking to the skies and so 2107 01:20:59,030 --> 01:20:55,520 on um and what's particularly 2108 01:21:02,790 --> 01:20:59,040 interesting is that in uh december 1941 2109 01:21:05,830 --> 01:21:02,800 you had this strange um situation 2110 01:21:08,709 --> 01:21:05,840 where unknown objects were seen flying 2111 01:21:10,950 --> 01:21:08,719 across the skies of los angeles and um 2112 01:21:12,790 --> 01:21:10,960 nobody knew what they were 2113 01:21:14,550 --> 01:21:12,800 you know the first thought was that the 2114 01:21:17,910 --> 01:21:14,560 worst case scenario 2115 01:21:20,149 --> 01:21:17,920 was that um you know it was the japanese 2116 01:21:21,990 --> 01:21:20,159 but that was pretty much if not 2117 01:21:23,510 --> 01:21:22,000 completely ruled out by the fact that 2118 01:21:26,149 --> 01:21:23,520 there was no sort of 2119 01:21:29,030 --> 01:21:26,159 attempt if you like to um 2120 01:21:31,189 --> 01:21:29,040 to drop bombs or to attack the city or 2121 01:21:33,910 --> 01:21:31,199 anything like that at all you know it 2122 01:21:35,750 --> 01:21:33,920 was it really was just a situation where 2123 01:21:37,910 --> 01:21:35,760 um 2124 01:21:39,830 --> 01:21:37,920 you know the the the lights were seen 2125 01:21:40,830 --> 01:21:39,840 these objects were seen they were lit up 2126 01:21:42,550 --> 01:21:40,840 by 2127 01:21:44,470 --> 01:21:42,560 floodlights um 2128 01:21:46,310 --> 01:21:44,480 their attempts to shoot them down you 2129 01:21:48,790 --> 01:21:46,320 know with um 2130 01:21:50,870 --> 01:21:48,800 ground to surface um 2131 01:21:53,350 --> 01:21:50,880 cannons that kind of thing and none of 2132 01:21:56,229 --> 01:21:53,360 it worked now i talk about in the book 2133 01:21:57,910 --> 01:21:56,239 for example uh how a number of files 2134 01:22:00,229 --> 01:21:57,920 have now been declassified through the 2135 01:22:01,910 --> 01:22:00,239 terms of the freedom information act but 2136 01:22:05,350 --> 01:22:01,920 actually talk about 2137 01:22:06,950 --> 01:22:05,360 um these particular experiences and how 2138 01:22:09,669 --> 01:22:06,960 uh for example 2139 01:22:11,750 --> 01:22:09,679 um the military was chronicling all this 2140 01:22:13,510 --> 01:22:11,760 and the you know the the files and the 2141 01:22:15,750 --> 01:22:13,520 data was going to the white house and 2142 01:22:16,550 --> 01:22:15,760 military intelligence trying to figure 2143 01:22:19,430 --> 01:22:16,560 out 2144 01:22:21,669 --> 01:22:19,440 what on earth was going on and 2145 01:22:23,350 --> 01:22:21,679 nobody really could solve it it was it 2146 01:22:26,149 --> 01:22:23,360 was just one of these mysteries that 2147 01:22:27,590 --> 01:22:26,159 like a lot of ufo cases sort of came and 2148 01:22:29,510 --> 01:22:27,600 went really 2149 01:22:33,110 --> 01:22:29,520 right right um 2150 01:22:36,790 --> 01:22:34,390 have you 2151 01:22:39,430 --> 01:22:36,800 ever come across any stories where 2152 01:22:41,110 --> 01:22:39,440 people are talking about they've uh 2153 01:22:45,110 --> 01:22:41,120 claimed to have seen 2154 01:22:49,189 --> 01:22:46,629 that's another oh yeah i mean there's a 2155 01:22:51,189 --> 01:22:49,199 lot of reports like this um 2156 01:22:53,590 --> 01:22:51,199 you know you can find them pretty much 2157 01:22:55,750 --> 01:22:53,600 all over the world um not just in the 2158 01:22:58,629 --> 01:22:55,760 united states but certainly you know the 2159 01:23:00,870 --> 01:22:58,639 more credible ones uh have surfaced from 2160 01:23:03,350 --> 01:23:00,880 the u.s and particularly from places 2161 01:23:05,430 --> 01:23:03,360 like wright-patterson air force base in 2162 01:23:09,030 --> 01:23:05,440 dayton ohio which has been for many 2163 01:23:11,350 --> 01:23:09,040 years was involved in the ufo phenomenon 2164 01:23:12,950 --> 01:23:11,360 from the perspective of looking at 2165 01:23:15,270 --> 01:23:12,960 things um 2166 01:23:18,229 --> 01:23:15,280 you know for ufos in the sky things like 2167 01:23:19,990 --> 01:23:18,239 that you have project blue book um 2168 01:23:22,229 --> 01:23:20,000 based there even though blue book was a 2169 01:23:24,390 --> 01:23:22,239 relatively sort of low level data 2170 01:23:27,510 --> 01:23:24,400 collection operation 2171 01:23:29,590 --> 01:23:27,520 however um there have long been rumors 2172 01:23:31,350 --> 01:23:29,600 that at wright patterson there are these 2173 01:23:32,950 --> 01:23:31,360 sort of underground bunker type 2174 01:23:34,390 --> 01:23:32,960 situations that i sort of you know 2175 01:23:35,350 --> 01:23:34,400 mentioned before 2176 01:23:38,390 --> 01:23:35,360 and 2177 01:23:40,709 --> 01:23:38,400 um places where military personnel have 2178 01:23:41,910 --> 01:23:40,719 allegedly seen alien bodies sort of 2179 01:23:44,470 --> 01:23:41,920 stored in 2180 01:23:47,590 --> 01:23:44,480 either sort of cryogenic chambers you 2181 01:23:50,149 --> 01:23:47,600 know you know like a frozen form or 2182 01:23:51,110 --> 01:23:50,159 almost like pickled in huge tanks of 2183 01:23:53,830 --> 01:23:51,120 liquid 2184 01:23:56,390 --> 01:23:53,840 um and they're typically described as 2185 01:23:59,030 --> 01:23:56,400 you know as a sort of classic grey alien 2186 01:24:00,550 --> 01:23:59,040 sort of small bodies and large heads and 2187 01:24:02,470 --> 01:24:00,560 in some cases 2188 01:24:04,149 --> 01:24:02,480 they're in perfect condition in other 2189 01:24:06,390 --> 01:24:04,159 cases the witnesses said they were sort 2190 01:24:08,629 --> 01:24:06,400 of pulverized as if they'd been you know 2191 01:24:11,030 --> 01:24:08,639 in a you know huge accidents or 2192 01:24:13,350 --> 01:24:11,040 something like that other cases people 2193 01:24:14,310 --> 01:24:13,360 claim to have seen like body parts 2194 01:24:16,470 --> 01:24:14,320 you know 2195 01:24:19,189 --> 01:24:16,480 rather than a complete body 2196 01:24:21,350 --> 01:24:19,199 so in that sense um 2197 01:24:23,110 --> 01:24:21,360 you know we're sort of looking at 2198 01:24:25,270 --> 01:24:23,120 stories that actually when you put them 2199 01:24:26,950 --> 01:24:25,280 all together have a lot of similarities 2200 01:24:29,590 --> 01:24:26,960 which is an important point when it 2201 01:24:31,189 --> 01:24:29,600 comes comes to validating these cases 2202 01:24:34,390 --> 01:24:31,199 you know it actually 2203 01:24:37,350 --> 01:24:34,400 presents things um from the perspective 2204 01:24:39,669 --> 01:24:37,360 of um hey you know this person said this 2205 01:24:41,669 --> 01:24:39,679 that person said that they both worked 2206 01:24:43,189 --> 01:24:41,679 at the same base right patterson in the 2207 01:24:45,110 --> 01:24:43,199 same time frame 2208 01:24:47,510 --> 01:24:45,120 this is sort of an intriguing little 2209 01:24:49,350 --> 01:24:47,520 link up so um yeah i've got i think i've 2210 01:24:53,270 --> 01:24:49,360 got sort of five or six cases in the 2211 01:24:56,070 --> 01:24:53,280 book altogether of people who were um 2212 01:24:58,310 --> 01:24:56,080 sort of on duty or they were guards 2213 01:25:00,310 --> 01:24:58,320 um you know at certain places and they 2214 01:25:02,629 --> 01:25:00,320 had the opportunity to at least take a 2215 01:25:05,189 --> 01:25:02,639 glimpse of something and there's one 2216 01:25:07,510 --> 01:25:05,199 interesting case in the book where 2217 01:25:08,790 --> 01:25:07,520 the one of the military guys was exposed 2218 01:25:11,110 --> 01:25:08,800 to these 2219 01:25:13,590 --> 01:25:11,120 bodies in these tanks for no real reason 2220 01:25:16,070 --> 01:25:13,600 at all we couldn't fathom it out unless 2221 01:25:19,830 --> 01:25:16,080 as he suspected it was either a test of 2222 01:25:21,430 --> 01:25:19,840 his loyalty if he stayed quiet or maybe 2223 01:25:23,830 --> 01:25:21,440 somebody on the inside was hoping he 2224 01:25:25,350 --> 01:25:23,840 would get the story out to see what the 2225 01:25:27,669 --> 01:25:25,360 you know the public 2226 01:25:31,110 --> 01:25:27,679 reaction was in relation to all

01:26:27,590 --> 01:26:26,239 difficult to say but this particular um 2255 01:26:30,070 --> 01:26:27,600 case you're talking about yeah the 2256 01:26:33,430 --> 01:26:30,080 witness was taken down to this sort of 2257 01:26:36,149 --> 01:26:33,440 bunker-like area to see these um 2258 01:26:38,550 --> 01:26:36,159 preserved aliens but they weren't taken 2259 01:26:41,189 --> 01:26:38,560 down by what you would call regular sort 2260 01:26:43,350 --> 01:26:41,199 of military personnel or mps or anything 2261 01:26:45,270 --> 01:26:43,360 like that they were these sort of creepy 2262 01:26:49,110 --> 01:26:45,280 looking um 2263 01:26:50,870 --> 01:26:49,120 pale faced guys in black suits and 2264 01:26:52,870 --> 01:26:50,880 you know they they were just sort of 2265 01:26:54,790 --> 01:26:52,880 really weird looking like straight out 2266 01:26:56,629 --> 01:26:54,800 the men in black who were saving point 2267 01:26:58,310 --> 01:26:56,639 pleasant west virginia when the mothman 2268 01:27:01,030 --> 01:26:58,320 cited the heights 2269 01:27:02,790 --> 01:27:01,040 in the 60s and um 2270 01:27:04,790 --> 01:27:02,800 you know when it comes to something like 2271 01:27:08,709 --> 01:27:04,800 that as i said either it was stage 2272 01:27:10,310 --> 01:27:08,719 managed you know to sort of um 2273 01:27:12,550 --> 01:27:10,320 to sort of convince the witness that 2274 01:27:13,669 --> 01:27:12,560 there was more to it or you know it 2275 01:27:15,750 --> 01:27:13,679 really was 2276 01:27:18,070 --> 01:27:15,760 all the government is working with 2277

that case there was 2280 01:27:26,149 --> 01:27:23,520 some sort of um 2281 01:27:29,189 --> 01:27:26,159 like a mind manipulation or like a 2282 01:27:30,830 --> 01:27:29,199 psychological testing of the guy to see 2283 01:27:34,709 --> 01:27:30,840 what his reaction at least was going to 2284 01:27:36,709 --> 01:27:34,719 be um let's see now uh some people in 2285 01:27:39,270 --> 01:27:36,719

just to 2291 01:27:51,189 --> 01:27:49,280 that's just a question that came up 2292 01:27:54,149 --> 01:27:51,199 online here now 2293 01:27:56,229 --> 01:27:54,159 uh in the forum another question

war 2305 01:28:30,310 --> 01:28:28,070 but i just wanted to to correct that 2306 01:28:31,750 --> 01:28:30,320 thing sure but um yeah it was about 2307 01:28:33,750 --> 01:28:31,760 thought um 2308

the gods which 2311 01:28:43,189 --> 01:28:40,719 actually has a a chapter in there um 2312 01:28:46,870 --> 01:28:43,199 where a woman actually claimed to have 2313 01:28:49,510 --> 01:28:46,880 met and chatted with uh val thor 2314 01:28:51,830 --> 01:28:49,520 in the 2000s now for people who aren't 2315 01:28:53,750 --> 01:28:51,840 aware of the story it came from a man 2316 01:28:56,870 --> 01:28:53,760 named frank strange's 2317 01:28:58,550 --> 01:28:56,880 um who back in the daughter of the 1960s 2318 01:29:00,470 --> 01:28:58,560 wrote a book called strangers at the 2319 01:29:03,030

was 2322 01:29:10,870 --> 01:29:08,719 supposedly valium thor who looked just 2323 01:29:12,790 --> 01:29:10,880 like a regular person 2324 01:29:14,950 --> 01:29:12,800 and the story was that he sort of 2325 01:29:16,390 --> 01:29:14,960 infiltrated the higher levels of the 2326 01:29:17,990 --> 01:29:16,400 pentagon 2327 01:29:19,590 --> 01:29:18,000 not infiltrated from a sinister 2328 01:29:21,990 --> 01:29:19,600 perspective but more from the 2329 01:29:25,270 --> 01:29:22,000 perspective of trying to 2330 01:29:28,629 --> 01:29:25,280 get us to sort of curb our warlike ways 2331 01:29:33,030 --> 01:29:28,639 and um and sort of mold us and from the 2332 01:29:35,270 --> 01:29:33,040 inside so to speak and um reportedly 2333 01:29:37,590 --> 01:29:35,280 valiant thor was not the only one like 2334 01:29:40,870 --> 01:29:37,600 this that there were supposedly 2335 01:29:43,510 --> 01:29:40,880 untold number of um 2336 01:29:45,270 --> 01:29:43,520 very human looking aliens um on the 2337 01:29:46,229 --> 01:29:45,280 planet and specifically throughout the 2338 01:29:48,310 --> 01:29:46,239 us 2339 01:29:50,310 --> 01:29:48,320 in this sort of immediate period after 2340 01:29:51,750 --> 01:29:50,320 the end of the war and when the cold war 2341 01:29:53,030 --> 01:29:51,760 started now 2342 01:29:54,550 --> 01:29:53,040 as i mentioned earlier i'm very 2343 01:29:57,510 --> 01:29:54,560 interested in the whole 2344 01:30:00,709 --> 01:29:57,520 contact team movement and certainly this 2345 01:30:03,189 --> 01:30:00,719 was um that period when numerous people 2346 01:30:04,470 --> 01:30:03,199 were claiming to see um human-like 2347 01:30:06,149 --> 01:30:04,480 aliens and 2348 01:30:09,110 --> 01:30:06,159 a lot of these reports were taken very 2349 01:30:11,590 --> 01:30:09,120 seriously by the authorities for example 2350 01:30:14,390 --> 01:30:11,600 the fbi has declassified its files on 2351 01:30:17,430 --> 01:30:14,400 people like georgia damski george van 2352 01:30:19,669 --> 01:30:17,440 tassel truman bathroom uh george hunt 2353 01:30:20,870 --> 01:30:19,679 williamson who are all contactees who 2354 01:30:22,790 --> 01:30:20,880 claimed 2355 01:30:24,950 --> 01:30:22,800 contact with with human-looking aliens 2356 01:30:27,270 --> 01:30:24,960 but the story of valiant thor 2357 01:30:29,990 --> 01:30:27,280 as i said told in the book stranger at 2358 01:30:31,430 --> 01:30:30,000 the pentagon um sort of really digs deep 2359 01:30:36,149 --> 01:30:31,440 into how 2360 01:30:38,790 --> 01:30:36,159 strange is

agenda of his people and so on 2364 01:30:48,790 --> 01:30:45,440 and uh and admittedly it does kind of 2365 01:30:51,750 --> 01:30:48,800 sound like you know sort of 1950s era 2366 01:30:53,910 --> 01:30:51,760 hollywood sci-fi movie type situations 2367 01:30:56,070 --> 01:30:53,920 not unlike the the day the earth stood 2368 01:30:58,070 --> 01:30:56,080 still and interestingly enough a number 2369 01:31:01,350 --> 01:30:58,080 of researchers have suggested 2370 01:31:03,910 --> 01:31:01,360 that the day the earth stood still movie 2371 01:31:06,790 --> 01:31:03,920 may actually have been sort of a test 2372 01:31:09,910 --> 01:31:06,800 um of public opinion that perhaps the 2373 01:31:11,830 --> 01:31:09,920 military offered some sort of influence 2374 01:31:14,390 --> 01:31:11,840 or you know a little bit of push and 2375 01:31:15,510 --> 01:31:14,400 shove to get the movie made 2376 01:31:17,990 --> 01:31:15,520 um 2377 01:31:20,629 --> 01:31:18,000 so the the story of valiant thor as i 2378 01:31:23,910 --> 01:31:20,639 said is it goes back to the 50s and then 2379 01:31:25,990 --> 01:31:23,920 the book was published in the 60s and um 2380 01:31:28,310 --> 01:31:26,000

01:33:05,030 --> 01:33:02,639 contactees suddenly became what you 2421 01:33:07,110 --> 01:33:05,040 would call sort of like gurus you know 2422 01:33:09,510 --> 01:33:07,120 and they had huge followings and people 2423 01:33:11,590 --> 01:33:09,520 are influenced by them so it's much as 2424 01:33:15,030 --> 01:33:11,600 much as sort of a study of the 2425 01:33:17,990 --> 01:33:15,040 phenomenon as it is a study of it from a 2426 01:33:20,229 --> 01:33:18,000 like a sociological perspective as well 2427 01:33:23,110 --> 01:33:20,239 um and also looking at the government 2428 01:33:25,270 --> 01:33:23,120 files on the contact tees i mean that's 2429 01:33:28,070 --> 01:33:25,280 one of the ironic things that i like 2430 01:33:30,950 --> 01:33:28,080 telling those who are skeptical of the 2431 01:33:32,870 --> 01:33:30,960 contact t era is that you know people 2432 01:33:34,790 --> 01:33:32,880 are always saying oh and if the 2433 01:33:37,030 --> 01:33:34,800 government's watching me and if there's 2434 01:33:39,030 --> 01:33:37,040 a file on me you know that kind of thing 2435 01:33:41,030 --> 01:33:39,040 i have so many people who you know worry 2436 01:33:43,030 --> 01:33:41,040 there's a file on them and yet they have 2437 01:33:46,070 --> 01:33:43,040 no time for the contact team movement 2438 01:33:47,669 --> 01:33:46,080 and yet ironically the contactees were 2439 01:33:50,709 --> 01:33:47,679 some of the people are the biggest files 2440 01:33:54,390 --> 01:33:50,719 of all um george van tassel 2441 01:33:56,950 --> 01:33:54,400 who had um space brother type encounters 2442 01:33:59,110 --> 01:33:56,960 out at giant rock california and held 2443 01:34:01,750 --> 01:33:59,120 these um huge conferences outdoor 2444 01:34:04,709 --> 01:34:01,760 conferences at giant rock his fbi files 2445 01:34:07,110 --> 01:34:04,719 like about 320 pages long georgia 2446 01:34:09,669 --> 01:34:07,120 damskis is about 120. 2447 01:34:12,470 --> 01:34:09,679 uh georgetown williamson's is about 50. 2448 01:34:15,990 --> 01:34:12,480 you know you go on and on the people who 2449 01:34:18,310 --> 01:34:16,000 a lot of today's um ufology ridicule and 2450 01:34:20,470 --> 01:34:18,320 dismiss with some of the people being 2451 01:34:23,510 --> 01:34:20,480 most closely watched of all 2452 01:34:26,870 --> 01:34:23,520 in the 50s you know so that that's an 2453 01:34:28,709 --> 01:34:26,880 important thing i mean yeah now i had i 2454 01:34:30,070 --> 01:34:28,719 can't remember which contact he but it 2455 01:34:32,790 --> 01:34:30,080 was someone that was 2456 01:34:35,430 --> 01:34:32,800 associated doing a lot of work um in 2457 01:34:37,270 --> 01:34:35,440 europe he was on the show and forget i 2458 01:34:39,350 --> 01:34:37,280 just can't remember who it is 2459 01:34:42,629 --> 01:34:39,360 but some of the claims that these 2460 01:34:45,189 --> 01:34:42,639 contactees were making or were just 2461 01:34:48,070 --> 01:34:45,199 uh actually laughable you know like 2462 01:34:48,950 --> 01:34:48,080 living on uh venus and uh 2463 01:34:51,189 --> 01:34:48,960 uh 2464 01:34:52,950 --> 01:34:51,199 going to jupiter and and and things like 2465 01:34:54,550 --> 01:34:52,960 that um 2466 01:34:56,149 --> 01:34:54,560 did you get right you're absolutely 2467 01:34:58,550 --> 01:34:56,159 right i mean i don't sort of look at 2468 01:35:01,510 --> 01:34:58,560 these uncritically and there is some 2469 01:35:02,390 --> 01:35:01,520 evidence that in a lot of these cases 2470 01:35:04,070 --> 01:35:02,400 that 2471 01:35:06,149 --> 01:35:04,080 the witnesses 2472 01:35:07,830 --> 01:35:06,159 uh who met these long-haired 2473 01:35:09,669 --> 01:35:07,840 human-looking aliens that became known 2474 01:35:12,550 --> 01:35:09,679 as the space brothers that they were 2475 01:35:14,790 --> 01:35:12,560 actually being manipulated in to some 2476 01:35:16,149 --> 01:35:14,800 degree and there's all sorts of theories 2477 01:35:18,229 --> 01:35:16,159 i talk about 2478 01:35:20,709 --> 01:35:18,239 in relation to what this manipulation 2479 01:35:21,669 --> 01:35:20,719 might be now some people believe they're 2480 01:35:23,030 --> 01:35:21,679 actually 2481 01:35:25,350 --> 01:35:23,040 like us 2482 01:35:27,830 --> 01:35:25,360 intelligence agents who were 2483 01:35:30,310 --> 01:35:27,840 fabricating events to try and 2484 01:35:31,350 --> 01:35:30,320 determine how quickly belief systems 2485 01:35:32,470 --> 01:35:31,360 could be 2486 01:35:35,030 --> 01:35:32,480 um 2487 01:35:37,270 --> 01:35:35,040 created and how you know people would 2488 01:35:39,189 --> 01:35:37,280 begin to follow these belief systems you 2489 01:35:41,510 --> 01:35:39,199 know again from a sociological level 2490 01:35:42,950 --> 01:35:41,520 then there was a theory that actually a 2491 01:35:45,350 --> 01:35:42,960 number of people 2492 01:35:49,109 --> 01:35:45,360 in uh military intelligence over here 2493 01:35:51,109 --> 01:35:49,119 felt was that the contactees were being 2494 01:35:52,070 --> 01:35:51,119 sort of manipulated by the soviets 2495 01:35:54,149 --> 01:35:52,080 because 2496 01:35:55,109 --> 01:35:54,159 george adamsky in particular said that 2497 01:35:56,870 --> 01:35:55,119 the 2498 01:35:59,030 --> 01:35:56,880 human-looking aliens he met were 2499 01:36:00,470 --> 01:35:59,040 communists they had a communist type of 2500 01:36:03,109 --> 01:36:00,480 government and that was one of the main 2501 01:36:05,350 --> 01:36:03,119 reasons why the fbi opened a file on 2502 01:36:06,470 --> 01:36:05,360 adamski because he was this guy 2503 01:36:07,830 --> 01:36:06,480 selling 2504 01:36:09,830 --> 01:36:07,840 you know literally these first book 2505 01:36:11,350 --> 01:36:09,840 flying sources of landed sold in six 2506 01:36:13,270 --> 01:36:11,360 figures you know that's how many copies 2507 01:36:15,430 --> 01:36:13,280 it sold um 2508 01:36:16,870 --> 01:36:15,440 and he was talking about the aliens 2509 01:36:19,270 --> 01:36:16,880 being communists so that was one of the 2510 01:36:21,830 --> 01:36:19,280 reasons why he was closely watched and 2511 01:36:25,030 --> 01:36:21,840 there was a theory that well what if 2512 01:36:27,350 --> 01:36:25,040 adamski was actually you know sort of 2513 01:36:29,510 --> 01:36:27,360 being deceived and they really they look 2514 01:36:32,070 --> 01:36:29,520 so human because they were but they were 2515 01:36:34,950 --> 01:36:32,080 sort of you know soviet plants and then 2516 01:36:37,669 --> 01:36:34,960 you had the theory that the aliens 2517 01:36:40,229 --> 01:36:37,679 themselves were deceiving us by giving 2518 01:36:42,790 --> 01:36:40,239 fake names and places where they came 2519 01:36:45,189 --> 01:36:42,800 from as a means to try and 2520 01:36:47,109 --> 01:36:45,199 get to know us and influence us but in a 2521 01:36:49,669 --> 01:36:47,119 way where we would never stand a chance 2522 01:36:52,149 --> 01:36:49,679 to really understand who or what they 2523 01:36:53,350 --> 01:36:52,159 what they were or are and they would do 2524 01:36:55,590 --> 01:36:53,360 that by 2525 01:36:57,830 --> 01:36:55,600 constantly moving the goal post of where 2526 01:37:00,229 --> 01:36:57,840 they were from and creating these 2527 01:37:02,950 --> 01:37:00,239 sort of bizarre stories to 2528 01:37:05,510 --> 01:37:02,960 you know keep us in sort of a state of 2529 01:37:08,070 --> 01:37:05,520 like constant confusion really or you 2530 01:37:09,430 --> 01:37:08,080 could make the case that as is certainly 2531 01:37:10,790 --> 01:37:09,440 the case with some of them that they 2532 01:37:13,669 --> 01:37:10,800 were just 2533 01:37:15,750 --> 01:37:13,679 fake as hoaxers or fantasists i mean 2534 01:37:17,590 --> 01:37:15,760 there was that aspect to it as well as 2535 01:37:20,390 --> 01:37:17,600 unfortunately there is in 2536 01:37:22,310 --> 01:37:20,400 every aspect you know i'm you know i'm 2537 01:37:24,070 --> 01:37:22,320 sort of fairly confident that 2538 01:37:25,669 --> 01:37:24,080 most of the people i've well very 2539 01:37:27,510 --> 01:37:25,679 confident that most of the people i've 2540 01:37:29,910 --> 01:37:27,520 interviewed over the years are just 2541 01:37:31,270 --> 01:37:29,920 genuine good people want to know what 2542 01:37:33,189 --> 01:37:31,280 they saw 2543 01:37:35,189 --> 01:37:33,199 um or just want to share their stories 2544 01:37:38,870 --> 01:37:35,199 but unfortunately in any aspect of this 2545 01:37:39,990 --> 01:37:38,880 subject you you do get hoaxes you know 2546 01:37:41,910 --> 01:37:40,000 and um 2547 01:37:44,550 --> 01:37:41,920 we just have to deal with them and hope 2548 01:37:46,229 --> 01:37:44,560 we don't get taken in too often but 2549 01:37:48,070 --> 01:37:46,239 there's no doubt that you know the the 2550 01:37:49,590 --> 01:37:48,080 contact team movement did have its 2551 01:37:51,830 --> 01:37:49,600 hoaxes 2552 01:37:52,709 --> 01:37:51,840 absolutely yes um 2553 01:37:54,709 --> 01:37:52,719 um 2554 01:37:56,070 --> 01:37:54,719 ray stanford who's been on the show a 2555 01:37:58,870 --> 01:37:56,080 number of times 2556 01:38:01,910 --> 01:37:58,880 was uh a young i think 17 him and his 2557 01:38:03,910 --> 01:38:01,920 twin brother were out at great rock i 2558 01:38:06,550 --> 01:38:03,920 think that's what it's called right 2559 01:38:08,629 --> 01:38:06,560 giant rock yeah giant rock and uh there 2560 01:38:10,629 --> 01:38:08,639 was uh some there was a lot of people 2561 01:38:12,550 --> 01:38:10,639 there and they all kind of trickled away 2562 01:38:13,350 --> 01:38:12,560 and his brother and him kind of stayed 2563 01:38:16,550 --> 01:38:13,360 back 2564 01:38:17,910 --> 01:38:16,560 and uh george came up to him and this is 2565 01:38:20,470 --> 01:38:17,920 according to ray 2566 01:38:23,030 --> 01:38:20,480 uh came up to him and said you you two 2567 01:38:25,109 --> 01:38:23,040 are like nice young fellas he says why 2568 01:38:28,310 --> 01:38:25,119 don't you get lost this is all just a 2569 01:38:32,229 --> 01:38:30,070 and well you know i think that would be 2570 01:38:34,790 --> 01:38:32,239 that could be the case i mean as i said 2571 01:38:36,790 --> 01:38:34,800 um it was there's no doubt that whatever 2572 01:38:38,709 --> 01:38:36,800 people think of the contact team 2573 01:38:40,149 --> 01:38:38,719 movement whichever side they're on 2574 01:38:42,950 --> 01:38:40,159 there's no doubt in my mind it's the 2575 01:38:46,390 --> 01:38:42,960 most controversial side of ufology 2576 01:38:49,189 --> 01:38:46,400 period you know the idea of human aliens 2577 01:38:51,990 --> 01:38:49,199 coming to earth and you know um hanging 2578 01:38:53,990 --> 01:38:52,000 out with people in the desert um 2579 01:38:55,830 --> 01:38:54,000 you know it it is controversial it does 2580 01:38:57,430 --> 01:38:55,840 kind of sound straight out of you know 2581 01:39:00,310 --> 01:38:57,440 the day the earth stood still that sort 2582 01:39:04,229 --> 01:39:00,320 of thing um but again i think what 2583 01:39:06,870 --> 01:39:04,239 interested certainly the government was 2584 01:39:09,590 --> 01:39:06,880 the sheer effect these stories had on 2585 01:39:11,430 --> 01:39:09,600 people you know on a massive scale i 2586 01:39:13,189 --> 01:39:11,440 mean at the height regardless what 2587 01:39:16,310 --> 01:39:13,199 people think of george van tasled at 2588 01:39:18,790 --> 01:39:16,320 giant rock at the height of his um ufo 2589 01:39:21,830 --> 01:39:18,800 conventions out in the desert he was 2590 01:39:24,310 --> 01:39:21,840 attracting 11 000 people now if you're 2591 01:39:26,790 --> 01:39:24,320 attracting 11 000 people and you've got 2592 01:39:29,030 --> 01:39:26,800 speakers who are saying that the aliens 2593 01:39:30,790 --> 01:39:29,040 want us to you know drop our type of 2594 01:39:33,109 --> 01:39:30,800 government and have a more communist 2595 01:39:34,629 --> 01:39:33,119 type government you can easily 2596 01:39:37,830 --> 01:39:34,639 understand how 2597 01:39:39,510 --> 01:39:37,840 a phenomenon that might be ridiculous 2598 01:39:41,750 --> 01:39:39,520 could actually become a national 2599 01:39:42,629 --> 01:39:41,760 security issue you see what i mean yeah 2600 01:39:43,590 --> 01:39:42,639 so 2601 01:39:45,270 --> 01:39:43,600 i think 2602 01:39:47,750 --> 01:39:45,280 that's that's one of the reasons that 2603 01:39:49,510 --> 01:39:47,760 fascinates me you know i'm not like a 2604 01:39:51,189 --> 01:39:49,520 full-on believer that everything the 2605 01:39:53,669 --> 01:39:51,199 contractor he said is true i don't 2606 01:39:55,510 --> 01:39:53,679 believe that at all but i am sort of 2607 01:39:58,629 --> 01:39:55,520 fascinated by 2608 01:40:01,270 --> 01:39:58,639 how it became a massive part of popular 2609 01:40:02,550 --> 01:40:01,280 culture and how and why 2610 01:40:05,350 --> 01:40:02,560 there were people in government who were 2611 01:40:07,590 --> 01:40:05,360 concerned regardless of you know the 2612 01:40:09,109 --> 01:40:07,600 truth behind these stories or not it was 2613 01:40:11,669 --> 01:40:09,119 still something that 2614 01:40:14,629 --> 01:40:11,679 really got people's attention who do you 2615 01:40:15,350 --> 01:40:14,639 think today's george ademski 2616 01:40:18,629 --> 01:40:15,360 is 2617 01:40:19,750 --> 01:40:18,639 um stephen stephen greer 2618 01:40:21,350 --> 01:40:19,760 i mean 2619 01:40:25,189 --> 01:40:21,360 someone just wrote that earlier the 2620 01:40:28,470 --> 01:40:25,199 ironic thing is i i rarely get contactee 2621 01:40:30,790 --> 01:40:28,480 reports today at all um now there are 2622 01:40:33,270 --> 01:40:30,800 some and as i said i got that one of um 2623 01:40:35,590 --> 01:40:33,280 the valiant thor story but i think the 2624 01:40:36,550 --> 01:40:35,600 reason the the girl picked me out was 2625 01:40:38,470 --> 01:40:36,560 because 2626 01:40:42,149 --> 01:40:38,480 i specifically had written about him in 2627 01:40:44,790 --> 01:40:42,159 the contact he's book um well let me 2628 01:40:46,870 --> 01:40:44,800 i should rephrase the question um 2629 01:40:47,910 --> 01:40:46,880 what i meant to say is who is the one 2630 01:40:49,590 --> 01:40:47,920 that's 2631 01:40:51,990 --> 01:40:49,600 getting all the people 2632 01:40:54,709 --> 01:40:52,000 interested today like get in a gathering 2633 01:40:56,070 --> 01:40:54,719 of say who could gather 11 000 people in 2634 01:40:58,149 --> 01:40:56,080 this field 2635 01:41:01,350 --> 01:40:58,159 i don't think there really is anyone or 2636 01:41:02,950 --> 01:41:01,360 i'm not sure anybody could actually 2637 01:41:04,790 --> 01:41:02,960 um you know if you look at most 2638 01:41:08,310 --> 01:41:04,800 conferences i go to 2639 01:41:10,229 --> 01:41:08,320 you know um you get um 2640 01:41:13,189 --> 01:41:10,239 three or four hundred people 2641 01:41:14,550 --> 01:41:13,199 um i think the ufo congress last year 2642 01:41:16,070 --> 01:41:14,560 was probably one of the biggest i've 2643 01:41:17,910 --> 01:41:16,080 done in a long time i think it was about 2644 01:41:19,430 --> 01:41:17,920 eight or nine hundred people then that 2645 01:41:20,310 --> 01:41:19,440 was really good you know that's a great 2646 01:41:22,629 --> 01:41:20,320 figure 2647 01:41:24,390 --> 01:41:22,639 um but i'm not sure anybody can today 2648 01:41:27,030 --> 01:41:24,400 can kind of rustle up 2649 01:41:29,030 --> 01:41:27,040 you know five six ten thousand people 2650 01:41:32,310 --> 01:41:29,040 now when i went to the 2651 01:41:34,470 --> 01:41:32,320 mothman festival uh in point pleasant uh 2652 01:41:37,350 --> 01:41:34,480 west virginia last september this 2653 01:41:39,590 --> 01:41:37,360 september just gone that was the 50th 2654 01:41:41,390 --> 01:41:39,600 anniversary of the mothman sightings 2655 01:41:45,270 --> 01:41:41,400 that began in 2656 01:41:47,189 --> 01:41:45,280 1966. now that festival is pretty much 2657 01:41:49,109 --> 01:41:47,199 outside apart from the lectures which 2658 01:41:51,109 --> 01:41:49,119 are inside you know everything goes on 2659 01:41:53,750 --> 01:41:51,119 outside like for example there's people 2660 01:41:55,590 --> 01:41:53,760 selling muffman fridge magnets and 2661 01:41:58,229 --> 01:41:55,600 t-shirts and you know you can have 2662 01:42:00,870 --> 01:41:58,239 muffin tattoos and earpieces all sorts 2663 01:42:03,830 --> 01:42:00,880 of stuff um but but that's like an 2664 01:42:06,870 --> 01:42:03,840 outdoor festival that actually last year 2665 01:42:08,790 --> 01:42:06,880 um just tipped 11 000 people who turned 2666 01:42:10,790 --> 01:42:08,800 up but a lot of those were like the 2667 01:42:11,669 --> 01:42:10,800 locals in the area who came along as 2668 01:42:13,510 --> 01:42:11,679 well 2669 01:42:15,750 --> 01:42:13,520 so it can be done 2670 01:42:18,149 --> 01:42:15,760 but it's like in that sense if that was 2671 01:42:19,669 --> 01:42:18,159 more like a very alternative way of 2672 01:42:21,830 --> 01:42:19,679 getting a big crowd you know because it 2673 01:42:23,590 --> 01:42:21,840 was almost like a like a county fair 2674 01:42:25,750 --> 01:42:23,600 that kind of thing that's how it's done 2675 01:42:27,990 --> 01:42:25,760 and i think that's why van tassel 2676 01:42:29,590 --> 01:42:28,000 attracted so many because it was like a 2677 01:42:31,510 --> 01:42:29,600 day out in the desert you know the old 2678 01:42:33,830 --> 01:42:31,520 family goes out and takes deck chairs 2679 01:42:35,590 --> 01:42:33,840 and you know snacks and beer and 2680 01:42:37,910 --> 01:42:35,600 everything else and just has a good time 2681 01:42:39,669 --> 01:42:37,920 listening to the ufo stories 2682 01:42:42,229 --> 01:42:39,679 that could still probably i think 2683 01:42:45,189 --> 01:42:42,239 attract that many because it's a fun day 2684 01:42:47,350 --> 01:42:45,199 out ufo conferences as such with sort of 2685 01:42:49,189 --> 01:42:47,360 six or seven people a day giving a 2686 01:42:51,189 --> 01:42:49,199 lecture on this or that 2687 01:42:54,550 --> 01:42:51,199 you know we're still sort of at the 2688 01:42:56,070 --> 01:42:54,560 three four five hundred figure and um 2689 01:42:57,189 --> 01:42:56,080 and i think that's sort of where it's 2690 01:42:58,950 --> 01:42:57,199 going to stay i don't think there's 2691 01:43:01,350 --> 01:42:58,960 anybody really who 2692 01:43:03,430 --> 01:43:01,360 jumps out and you know click of the 2693 01:43:05,430 --> 01:43:03,440 fingers and 2 000 people are going to 2694 01:43:07,350 --> 01:43:05,440 flock to them really well you know if it 2695 01:43:09,510 --> 01:43:07,360 if things change and it becomes more of 2696 01:43:11,669 --> 01:43:09,520 a pop culture type thing like a 2697 01:43:15,109 --> 01:43:11,679 comic-con or something like that i mean 2698 01:43:15,990 --> 01:43:15,119 yeah uh you know actually uh 2699 01:43:16,950 --> 01:43:16,000 uh 2700 01:43:20,390 --> 01:43:16,960 jason 2701 01:43:22,470 --> 01:43:20,400 was on this uh show recently it said 2702 01:43:25,990 --> 01:43:22,480 that he is actually going to a comic-con 2703 01:43:27,990 --> 01:43:26,000 with a uh more or less a ufo booth so i 2704 01:43:30,310 --> 01:43:28,000 think you know these things can change 2705 01:43:32,310 --> 01:43:30,320 it could become again more like i guess 2706 01:43:34,070 --> 01:43:32,320 it was pop culture at the time back then 2707 01:43:35,189 --> 01:43:34,080 the contact d movement 2708 01:43:37,109 --> 01:43:35,199 and um 2709 01:43:38,870 --> 01:43:37,119 uh you know and it kind of 2710 01:43:40,390 --> 01:43:38,880 in a way it kind of muddies the water 2711 01:43:42,790 --> 01:43:40,400 when that happens 2712 01:43:44,870 --> 01:43:42,800 um because so there's some people out 2713 01:43:46,149 --> 01:43:44,880 there trying to do some really thorough 2714 01:43:48,149 --> 01:43:46,159 research 2715 01:43:50,830 --> 01:43:48,159 that you know will no longer be taken 2716 01:43:53,669 --> 01:43:50,840 seriously if it all becomes just pop 2717 01:43:55,830 --> 01:43:53,679 culture yeah and i think you know that 2718 01:43:57,189 --> 01:43:55,840 the pop culture angle of it you know a 2719 01:43:59,910 --> 01:43:57,199 lot of people sort of say well it's not 2720 01:44:01,270 --> 01:43:59,920 a part of ufology but it actually is now 2721 01:44:02,870 --> 01:44:01,280 you know when you bring up sort of 2722 01:44:04,149 --> 01:44:02,880 comic-con i'm you know i've never been 2723 01:44:04,950 --> 01:44:04,159 to one of those things i'm not really 2724 01:44:06,550 --> 01:44:04,960 into 2725 01:44:08,470 --> 01:44:06,560 comic books and all that kind of stuff 2726 01:44:10,070 --> 01:44:08,480 but i do know friends who have been to 2727 01:44:11,830 --> 01:44:10,080 them and you know and they've said you 2728 01:44:14,070 --> 01:44:11,840 know these things are 2729 01:44:16,550 --> 01:44:14,080 gigantic and i kind of saw this in a way 2730 01:44:18,830 --> 01:44:16,560 when um i did a book uh called the 2731 01:44:21,270 --> 01:44:18,840 zombie book like an a to z book on 2732 01:44:24,790 --> 01:44:21,280 zombies a couple of years ago and i did 2733 01:44:26,070 --> 01:44:24,800 a like a zombie con here in dallas 2734 01:44:27,590 --> 01:44:26,080 and you know there were people from the 2735 01:44:30,550 --> 01:44:27,600 walking dead there and some of the 2736 01:44:33,430 --> 01:44:30,560 romero movies and that was jammed you 2737 01:44:35,189 --> 01:44:33,440 know and i can see how ufology could do 2738 01:44:37,750 --> 01:44:35,199 something like that but i think the 2739 01:44:39,430 --> 01:44:37,760 problem i actually do in a way that was 2740 01:44:41,830 --> 01:44:39,440 really it would be really entertaining 2741 01:44:43,510 --> 01:44:41,840 and fun but also informative i think the 2742 01:44:46,709 --> 01:44:43,520 problem is a lot of 2743 01:44:48,390 --> 01:44:46,719 ufo conference organizers feel that 2744 01:44:51,669 --> 01:44:48,400 if it's not 100 2745 01:44:54,390 --> 01:44:51,679 a conference with speakers wearing 2746 01:44:56,310 --> 01:44:54,400 shirts and ties if it's not that it's 2747 01:44:58,709 --> 01:44:56,320 somehow not credible 2748 01:45:01,109 --> 01:44:58,719 well you know you know me you saw me at 2749 01:45:05,030 --> 01:45:01,119 the conference last year you know i'm a 2750 01:45:07,910 --> 01:45:05,040 t-shirt and jeans and biker jackets 2751 01:45:09,430 --> 01:45:07,920 yeah pistons you know the whole lot 2752 01:45:10,870 --> 01:45:09,440 um 2753 01:45:12,629 --> 01:45:10,880 you know i don't dress like a bank 2754 01:45:14,229 --> 01:45:12,639 manager and i've had conference 2755 01:45:16,709 --> 01:45:14,239 organizers say well nick will have you 2756 01:45:18,390 --> 01:45:16,719 if you put a buy a shirt and tie 2757 01:45:20,390 --> 01:45:18,400 a jacket which i would actually i would 2758 01:45:23,109 --> 01:45:20,400 literally have to buy them because i 2759 01:45:25,990 --> 01:45:23,990 and 2760 01:45:28,470 --> 01:45:26,000 but the way i look at it is 2761 01:45:30,470 --> 01:45:28,480 you can have people on stage 2762 01:45:33,830 --> 01:45:30,480 giving a good presentation 2763 01:45:36,629 --> 01:45:33,840 keeping it informative keeping it fun 2764 01:45:40,310 --> 01:45:36,639 and then afterwards you all hang out in 2765 01:45:42,470 --> 01:45:40,320 sort of a a call kind of vibe situation 2766 01:45:45,189 --> 01:45:42,480 and not where it comes across like a 2767 01:45:48,310 --> 01:45:45,199 meeting at the united nations which you 2768 01:45:51,030 --> 01:45:48,320 know is kind of stuffy and and whatever 2769 01:45:53,750 --> 01:45:51,040 but so many people i think particularly 2770 01:45:56,790 --> 01:45:53,760 from the first wave of ufology think 2771 01:45:59,109 --> 01:45:56,800 they've got to take that approach or 2772 01:46:01,030 --> 01:45:59,119 they're not serious ufologists well the 2773 01:46:04,310 --> 01:46:01,040 thing is you're dealing with stories of 2774 01:46:05,750 --> 01:46:04,320 aliens you know you've got to make it 2775 01:46:08,310 --> 01:46:05,760 um 2776 01:46:12,390 --> 01:46:08,320 sort of amenable to people outside of 2777 01:46:14,950 --> 01:46:12,400 ufology uh to to bring them in you know 2778 01:46:17,590 --> 01:46:14,960 you've got to have more than just 2779 01:46:19,910 --> 01:46:17,600 an 80 year old guy on stage showing you 2780 01:46:22,470 --> 01:46:19,920 a picture of the pentagon you know 2781 01:46:25,109 --> 01:46:22,480 um and that's no disrespect it just the 2782 01:46:27,750 --> 01:46:25,119 fact is if we don't sort of i think get 2783 01:46:29,669 --> 01:46:27,760 more into like that sort of comic-con 2784 01:46:31,470 --> 01:46:29,679 approach and i don't see anything wrong 2785 01:46:35,189 --> 01:46:31,480 with that i don't think it sort of 2786 01:46:37,990 --> 01:46:35,199 de-legitimizes the subject to to keep it 2787 01:46:40,070 --> 01:46:38,000 you know entertaining and informative 2788 01:46:42,070 --> 01:46:40,080 um i don't see anything wrong with that 2789 01:46:44,310 --> 01:46:42,080 and i think it could actually be a good 2790 01:46:47,590 --> 01:46:44,320 way to go you know 2791 01:46:50,709 --> 01:46:47,600 right right um you know a lot of these 2792 01:46:53,270 --> 01:46:50,719 what i find in at the conferences myself 2793 01:46:55,270 --> 01:46:53,280 for myself that is is that uh it's the 2794 01:46:57,910 --> 01:46:55,280 hallways it's the uh 2795 01:47:00,310 --> 01:46:57,920 it's the uh dinner after or uh you know 2796 01:47:01,990 --> 01:47:00,320 going out with uh people after that yeah 2797 01:47:03,830 --> 01:47:02,000 you really hear the interesting stuff 2798 01:47:07,109 --> 01:47:03,840 and that's that's what i'm really 2799 01:47:08,870 --> 01:47:07,119 looking forward to coming up here um and 2800 01:47:11,030 --> 01:47:08,880 well that's something else i mean i 2801 01:47:13,350 --> 01:47:11,040 won't name names but you know one of the 2802 01:47:14,629 --> 01:47:13,360 things that really annoys me when i go 2803 01:47:17,030 --> 01:47:14,639 to a conference 2804 01:47:17,990 --> 01:47:17,040 is when you know certain speakers are 2805 01:47:21,270 --> 01:47:18,000 there 2806 01:47:22,790 --> 01:47:21,280 and

01:50:17,030 --> 01:50:14,719 outside of the field 2894 01:50:18,629 --> 01:50:17,040 and so she and her friend were riding 2895 01:50:21,430 --> 01:50:18,639 along in their car not far away from 2896 01:50:23,510 --> 01:50:21,440 where the conference was in arizona 2897 01:50:25,109 --> 01:50:23,520 and a mesa or plateau or something like 2898 01:50:27,990 --> 01:50:25,119 that they saw this 2899 01:50:29,910 --> 01:50:28,000 this dark object like come over 2900 01:50:32,470 --> 01:50:29,920 down and over i can't remember what time 2901 01:50:34,310 --> 01:50:32,480 of day it was but it came over their car 2902 01:50:36,709 --> 01:50:34,320 and she just froze and that there was a 2903 01:50:37,510 --> 01:50:36,719 beam of light that came down 2904 01:50:43,270 --> 01:50:37,520 and 2905 01:50:46,229 --> 01:50:43,280 hit the gas 2906 01:50:48,470 --> 01:50:46,239 and they you know just kind of outran it 2907 01:50:50,550 --> 01:50:48,480 you know and it made no noise or 2908 01:50:52,390 --> 01:50:50,560 anything like that and then she said and 2909 01:50:53,350 --> 01:50:52,400 the strangest thing of all she said 2910 01:50:54,390 --> 01:50:53,360 about 2911 01:50:55,990 --> 01:50:54,400 um 2912 01:50:57,589 --> 01:50:56,000 ten minutes later 2913 01:50:59,350 --> 01:50:57,599 all of a sudden the biggest owl that 2914 01:51:00,550 --> 01:50:59,360 i've ever seen came right down at the 2915 01:51:03,990 --> 01:51:00,560 windshield 2916 01:51:06,310 --> 01:51:04,000 and i thought wow what a story that was 2917 01:51:08,470 --> 01:51:06,320 you know that's interesting because you 2918 01:51:10,470 --> 01:51:08,480 know i'll some as i'm sure you know turn 2919 01:51:12,229 --> 01:51:10,480 up it turn up in a lot of ufo cases 2920 01:51:14,070 --> 01:51:12,239 particularly with so-called 2921 01:51:16,070 --> 01:51:14,080 screen memories where the person thinks 2922 01:51:18,149 --> 01:51:16,080 they've seen this huge owl and they 2923 01:51:20,310 --> 01:51:18,159 never forget about it and then they 2924 01:51:22,070 --> 01:51:20,320 start having dreams where the owl was 2925 01:51:24,550 --> 01:51:22,080 actually like a screen memory or 2926 01:51:25,830 --> 01:51:24,560 something like that for an alien um 2927 01:51:27,350 --> 01:51:25,840 funnily enough i think i've got two 2928 01:51:30,070 --> 01:51:27,360 cases like that in the book i know 2929 01:51:33,270 --> 01:51:30,080 there's definitely one um where this 2930 01:51:35,510 --> 01:51:33,280 sort of um owl-like apparition clearly 2931 01:51:37,750 --> 01:51:35,520 much bigger than any normal owl could 2932 01:51:39,030 --> 01:51:37,760 ever be but the witness was sure that's 2933 01:51:41,270 --> 01:51:39,040 what they saw stood at the edge of the 2934 01:51:43,189 --> 01:51:41,280 road on a night when they'd had missing 2935 01:51:44,629 --> 01:51:43,199 time and um 2936 01:51:46,390 --> 01:51:44,639 you know from there 2937 01:51:48,790 --> 01:51:46,400 gradually bit by bit it came back to 2938 01:51:50,070 --> 01:51:48,800 them that the owl actually wasn't an owl 2939 01:51:52,470 --> 01:51:50,080 after all it was just like these 2940 01:51:55,030 --> 01:51:52,480 enticing huge eyes 2941 01:51:56,229 --> 01:51:55,040 that would be replaced with an al's eyes 2942 01:51:59,270 --> 01:51:56,239 when it was actually sort of you know 2943 01:52:02,550 --> 01:51:59,280 like the classic gray alien eyes right 2944 01:52:04,709 --> 01:52:02,560 um the screen memory thing is something 2945 01:52:05,669 --> 01:52:04,719 that uh was one of the questions on the 2946 01:52:07,350 --> 01:52:05,679 forum 2947 01:52:09,189 --> 01:52:07,360 and you just mentioned you have them in 2948 01:52:09,990 --> 01:52:09,199 your book that was a question they had 2949 01:52:13,510 --> 01:52:10,000 but 2950 01:52:17,669 --> 01:52:13,520 okay can you explain exactly what 2951 01:52:19,830 --> 01:52:17,679 what a screen memory is considered to be 2952 01:52:22,390 --> 01:52:19,840 well yeah it's basically somebody has 2953 01:52:24,790 --> 01:52:22,400 sort of a significant or more often like 2954 01:52:25,910 --> 01:52:24,800 a traumatic ufo event 2955 01:52:29,109 --> 01:52:25,920 and 2956 01:52:31,270 --> 01:52:29,119 the the mind sort of interprets it in a 2957 01:52:34,070 --> 01:52:31,280 different way now sometimes that's like 2958 01:52:36,709 --> 01:52:34,080 the the the right the mind 2959 01:52:39,350 --> 01:52:36,719 uh subconsciously doing it without you 2960 01:52:41,589 --> 01:52:39,360 realizing you know if somebody sees um 2961 01:52:44,629 --> 01:52:41,599 there are like verifiable examples where 2962 01:52:46,310 --> 01:52:44,639 somebody sees like a really horrific car 2963 01:52:48,550 --> 01:52:46,320 accident you know somebody goes through 2964 01:52:51,910 --> 01:52:48,560 the windshield and just cut to pieces 2965 01:52:54,149 --> 01:52:51,920 seven and dies in front of them and then 2966 01:52:56,629 --> 01:52:54,159 six months by six months later the 2967 01:52:58,629 --> 01:52:56,639 person knows they saw all that 2968 01:53:00,310 --> 01:52:58,639 but they just cannot see it in their 2969 01:53:01,510 --> 01:53:00,320 mind anymore you know what i mean they 2970 01:53:03,510 --> 01:53:01,520 know the person came through the 2971 01:53:04,709 --> 01:53:03,520 windshield etcetera etcetera but the 2972 01:53:07,270 --> 01:53:04,719 graphic 2973 01:53:09,669 --> 01:53:07,280 aspects i've have gone you know they can 2974 01:53:11,669 --> 01:53:09,679 see is like a blur or 2975 01:53:13,910 --> 01:53:11,679 they they're forced to imagine what it 2976 01:53:16,149 --> 01:53:13,920 was like so that is one kind of screen 2977 01:53:19,189 --> 01:53:16,159 memory but the one that turns up more 2978 01:53:20,870 --> 01:53:19,199 often in ufology is where it seems like 2979 01:53:22,149 --> 01:53:20,880 the phenomenon 2980 01:53:25,189 --> 01:53:22,159 can 2981 01:53:27,750 --> 01:53:25,199 literally enter our mind and alter 2982 01:53:29,750 --> 01:53:27,760 our memories you know it's not like it's 2983 01:53:31,990 --> 01:53:29,760 camouflaging itself and changing the way 2984 01:53:34,470 --> 01:53:32,000 it looks like possibly is the case with 2985 01:53:37,350 --> 01:53:34,480 those black helicopters it's a case of 2986 01:53:40,310 --> 01:53:37,360 the mind actually being manipulated to 2987 01:53:41,990 --> 01:53:40,320 see something it actually isn't and so 2988 01:53:45,910 --> 01:53:42,000 that may be why 2989 01:53:48,229 --> 01:53:45,920 in so many of these owl cases people see 2990 01:53:50,390 --> 01:53:48,239 a ufo or they think excuse me i should 2991 01:53:52,149 --> 01:53:50,400 say they first they thought they saw 2992 01:53:54,550 --> 01:53:52,159 this weird looking owl at the side of 2993 01:53:56,629 --> 01:53:54,560 the road anybody looked really big and 2994 01:53:57,990 --> 01:53:56,639 they never forgot about it or it swooped 2995 01:53:59,830 --> 01:53:58,000 right in front of the windshield and 2996 01:54:01,830 --> 01:53:59,840 they were sure it was going to hit the 2997 01:54:02,790 --> 01:54:01,840 the glass and swerved away at the last 2998 01:54:04,709 --> 01:54:02,800 second 2999 01:54:08,070 --> 01:54:04,719 and then the person just felt weird on 3000 01:54:09,750 --> 01:54:08,080 the rest of the drive home and then over 3001 01:54:13,189 --> 01:54:09,760 time sometimes 3002 01:54:14,470 --> 01:54:13,199 um it's like the screen memory starts to 3003 01:54:16,470 --> 01:54:14,480 fall apart 3004 01:54:19,030 --> 01:54:16,480 and the person then repo 3005 01:54:22,229 --> 01:54:19,040 remembers seeing like a a ufo at the 3006 01:54:23,669 --> 01:54:22,239 side of the road or two alien creatures 3007 01:54:25,430 --> 01:54:23,679 that's you know perceived alien 3008 01:54:27,750 --> 01:54:25,440 creatures that sort of 3009 01:54:29,510 --> 01:54:27,760 had the ability to stop the car and took 3010 01:54:31,350 --> 01:54:29,520 the person out the car 3011 01:54:34,470 --> 01:54:31,360 lo took them on board a ufo and there's 3012 01:54:37,270 --> 01:54:34,480 like a typical abduction scenario 3013 01:54:39,510 --> 01:54:37,280 but all the person remembered was seeing 3014 01:54:42,790 --> 01:54:39,520 the entities but didn't even recall 3015 01:54:44,229 --> 01:54:42,800 seeing them as aliens until years later 3016 01:54:47,189 --> 01:54:44,239 so um 3017 01:54:49,750 --> 01:54:47,199 you know there could be almost like a 3018 01:54:51,750 --> 01:54:49,760 almost like a silent massive underground 3019 01:54:54,229 --> 01:54:51,760 number of people who've had 3020 01:54:56,149 --> 01:54:54,239 weird experiences like this where they 3021 01:54:58,149 --> 01:54:56,159 don't consciously recall ever having 3022 01:54:59,669 --> 01:54:58,159 seen a ufo but they might have had 3023 01:55:01,830 --> 01:54:59,679 another weird experience it could have 3024 01:55:04,149 --> 01:55:01,840 been a cover for one wow really 3025 01:55:05,430 --> 01:55:04,159 interesting nick what are you writing uh 3026 01:55:07,109 --> 01:55:05,440 you're you're probably writing like 3027

3036 01:55:32,629 --> 01:55:31,360 slash women in black book which will be 3037 01:55:35,270 --> 01:55:32,639 out at some point this year but i'm 3038 01:55:37,750 --> 01:55:35,280 still writing that one um but i also 3039 01:55:39,510 --> 01:55:37,760 have another book out um 3040 01:55:41,669 --> 01:55:39,520 in a couple of months called secret 3041 01:55:42,709 --> 01:55:41,679 societies which is like an a to z of all 3042 01:55:45,430 --> 01:55:42,719 sorts of 3043 01:55:48,149 --> 01:55:45,440 um strange and ancient modern secret 3044 01:55:50,070 --> 01:55:48,159 societies and then in september i've got 3045 01:55:52,229 --> 01:55:50,080 a book coming out called shape shifters 3046 01:55:55,109 --> 01:55:52,239 which is a sort of a cryptozoology book 3047 01:55:57,750 --> 01:55:55,119 yeah but it deals with all the history 3048 01:55:59,030 --> 01:55:57,760 legends and folklore of animals that can 3049 01:56:00,950 --> 01:55:59,040 reportedly 3050 01:56:02,709 --> 01:56:00,960 shape-shift not just like 3051 01:56:04,870 --> 01:56:02,719 werewolves but 3052 01:56:07,109 --> 01:56:04,880 you know in native american legends like 3053 01:56:09,510 --> 01:56:07,119 coyotes and 3054 01:56:12,310 --> 01:56:09,520 animals like that and also 3055 01:56:14,790 --> 01:56:12,320 um accounts where like like for example 3056 01:56:16,709 --> 01:56:14,800 that the scream everything as well where 3057 01:56:18,870 --> 01:56:16,719 he doesn't necessarily physically shape 3058 01:56:21,830 --> 01:56:18,880 shift but he's like a mind shift on the 3059 01:56:24,310 --> 01:56:21,840 part of the witness so it sort of covers 3060 01:56:26,950 --> 01:56:24,320 all sorts of strange creatures that you 3061 01:56:29,510 --> 01:56:26,960 know reportedly can sort of change their 3062 01:56:30,950 --> 01:56:29,520 physical appearance wow uh 3063 01:56:33,189 --> 01:56:30,960 interesting so 3064 01:56:34,470 --> 01:56:33,199 let's see there is a uh 3065 01:56:37,270 --> 01:56:34,480 there is a 3066 01:56:39,189 --> 01:56:37,280 one more message that i'd like to um ask 3067 01:56:41,430 --> 01:56:39,199 you because it involves men in black in 3068 01:56:44,149 --> 01:56:41,440 your research have you come across two 3069 01:56:46,790 --> 01:56:44,159 types of men in black where one type 3070 01:56:48,629 --> 01:56:46,800 does not seem to be completely human 3071 01:56:51,990 --> 01:56:48,639 and how does their appearance differ 3072 01:56:53,830 --> 01:56:52,000 from the more human looking ones 3073 01:56:55,350 --> 01:56:53,840 yeah that's one of the weirdest things 3074 01:56:57,430 --> 01:56:55,360 about the men in black mystery whenever 3075 01:56:59,510 --> 01:56:57,440 i give lectures on the subject i always 3076 01:57:02,470 --> 01:56:59,520 point this out that why the subject so 3077 01:57:04,709 --> 01:57:02,480 confusing is because there actually are 3078 01:57:06,950 --> 01:57:04,719 two categories of men in black now 3079 01:57:09,990 --> 01:57:06,960 certainly in the 40s and 50s 3080 01:57:12,390 --> 01:57:10,000 um you know the guys all dressed in sort 3081 01:57:14,629 --> 01:57:12,400 of you know dark suits skinny black ties 3082 01:57:17,830 --> 01:57:14,639 and fedoras that was the fashion back 3083 01:57:18,709 --> 01:57:17,840 then so there's no doubt that i think 3084 01:57:20,310 --> 01:57:18,719 some 3085 01:57:22,310 --> 01:57:20,320 cases that have sort of perceived as 3086 01:57:24,550 --> 01:57:22,320 so-called men in black reports were 3087 01:57:27,669 --> 01:57:24,560 legitimate visits by government people 3088 01:57:29,510 --> 01:57:27,679 to the homes of witnesses and where they 3089 01:57:31,109 --> 01:57:29,520 you know suggested we prefer you 3090 01:57:34,550 --> 01:57:31,119 wouldn't talk about this and they become 3091 01:57:37,910 --> 01:57:34,560 part of the you know the mib history and 3092 01:57:39,910 --> 01:57:37,920 law so to speak but in saying that 3093 01:57:42,390 --> 01:57:39,920 nearly i would say a good 3094 01:57:44,229 --> 01:57:42,400 at least sort of 70 80 probably more 3095 01:57:46,629 --> 01:57:44,239 percent than that of all the reports i 3096 01:57:48,709 --> 01:57:46,639 ever get are the more creepy men in 3097 01:57:49,669 --> 01:57:48,719 black which are described often very 3098 01:57:50,550 --> 01:57:49,679 pale 3099 01:57:53,669 --> 01:57:50,560 um 3100 01:57:55,750 --> 01:57:53,679 skinny only about five feet tall 3101 01:57:57,589 --> 01:57:55,760 their skin looks like you know they've 3102 01:57:59,270 --> 01:57:57,599 overdone it with a botox you know it's 3103 01:58:01,189 --> 01:57:59,280 just smooth 3104 01:58:02,149 --> 01:58:01,199 to the point of just looking really 3105 01:58:03,510 --> 01:58:02,159 weird 3106 01:58:05,990 --> 01:58:03,520 and um 3107 01:58:08,149 --> 01:58:06,000 they often wear these sort of black wigs 3108 01:58:10,390 --> 01:58:08,159 that are clearly wigs and the fedora 3109 01:58:12,390 --> 01:58:10,400 hats with the hats pulled down and these 3110 01:58:14,390 --> 01:58:12,400 weird wrap-around sunglasses so you can 3111 01:58:16,550 --> 01:58:14,400 barely make out their face 3112 01:58:18,870 --> 01:58:16,560 um which if you to remove the hat the 3113 01:58:21,430 --> 01:58:18,880 wigs and the sunglasses they might look 3114 01:58:23,669 --> 01:58:21,440 sort of really kind of alien and so you 3115 01:58:25,270 --> 01:58:23,679 have theories that they are literal 3116 01:58:26,870 --> 01:58:25,280 aliens or 3117 01:58:30,149 --> 01:58:26,880 could they be human 3118 01:58:31,750 --> 01:58:30,159 alien hybrids or something supernatural 3119 01:58:33,830 --> 01:58:31,760 but what i would say there are with 3120 01:58:36,629 --> 01:58:33,840 these weirder men in black there are a 3121 01:58:37,510 --> 01:58:36,639 lot of really strange aspects that do 3122 01:58:39,669 --> 01:58:37,520 sort of 3123 01:58:40,550 --> 01:58:39,679 border the paranormal like i said with 3124 01:58:42,550 --> 01:58:40,560 um 3125 01:58:44,149 --> 01:58:42,560 poltergeist activity in the homes and 3126 01:58:46,550 --> 01:58:44,159 some weird cases where people have 3127 01:58:48,709 --> 01:58:46,560 fallen really ill and sick after they've 3128 01:58:50,070 --> 01:58:48,719 been in the vicinity of the men in black 3129 01:58:52,070 --> 01:58:50,080 and um 3130 01:58:53,910 --> 01:58:52,080 so you know you we can't 3131 01:58:55,990 --> 01:58:53,920 we can't blame that on an intelligence 3132 01:58:57,830 --> 01:58:56,000 agency that's that belongs to this 3133 01:58:59,750 --> 01:58:57,840 weirder category which we're still 3134 01:59:01,350 --> 01:58:59,760 struggling to understand 3135 01:59:03,750 -->
